Monty Python is a British-American comical group, famous for its controversy and typical humour. Their work mostly burlesques British and European society and its abuses. The aim of this thesis is to identify, describe and demonstrate the postmodern features in Monty Python's work and at the same time to focus on parallels between European history and Python's creation.
The thesis introduces the formation of the group and also their work in a series called Monty Python's Flying Circus so film production which includes three full-length movies, unfed their direction. Further, it is focused on postmodernism itself and on its postmodern features - irony, parody, collage. The thesis explores the three full-length movies made by Monty Python - Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Life of Brian and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
