British comedy troupe Monty Python really push the boundaries in their final feature film 1983's The Meaning Of Life.
Instead of following clear narrative like their previous two films, the Python's loosely collect a series of sketches sort of following the theme of life from beginning to end. This approach makes for a bit of a drawn-out mess, occasionally making the film seem longer than it really is. Nevertheless, the film contains some of the best material the Python's ever did. Each member's performance are top notch with surreal exaggeration and delightful subtle bits as well. It's a jumbled mess but the good material heavily outweighs the dull moments.
