Graham Chapman, probably best remembered as ‘the dead one from Monty Python’ or perhaps a ‘the gay one from Monty Python’, hasn’t let a little thing like shuffling off this mortal coil from allowing him to write and star in the animated movie of his own life story, A Liar’s Autobiography.
The film is in UK cinemas nationwide 8 February 2013, on VoD 11 February 2013 & DVD 18 February 2013 (Available to pre-order from Amazon). However we’ve got three copies of the film on DVD as well as posters to give away to three of you!
Graham was born, he went to Cambridge and met John Cleese, he smoked a pipe, he became a doctor, he became a Python, he decided he was gay (well, 70/30, according to a survey he did on himself), he got drunk a lot, he stopped being drunk, he made some films, he had some sex (actually, a lot), and moved to Los Angeles. Finally, he was whisked up into space by aliens (although that might have been in a film).
Although Chapman selfishly dropped dead in 1989, he had taken the trouble to record himself reading his book, A Liar’s Autobiography – and those recordings have now ingeniously been used to provide Chapman’s voice for the animated feature of the same name. Fellow Pythons John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam also turn up, playing themselves and other characters, along with a few surprise guests.
Not a documentary, not a Monty Python film, A Liar’s Autobiography is Chapman’s own take on his bizarre life and his search for self-knowledge.
