oly Flying Circus In 1979, Monty Python’s “Life Of Brian” became one of the most controversial films ever to be released in British cinemas, causing outrage amongst religious groups, members of the public and politicians, most of whom hadn’t even seen the film. Accusing it of being blasphemous, many called for the film to be banned. Now, the brand-new, critically acclaimed comedy-drama Holy Flying Circus revisits that period and delivers a witty, entertaining and affectionate homage to the Pythons and the film that, today, has become accepted as one of the greatest comedy movies of all time. Holy Flying Circus will be released on DVD by FremantleMedia Enterprises on 6th February 2012.

Maxime (Jean Reno) has joined forces with CASH (Jean Dujardin) as part of a new crew set upon pulling off the robbery of a lifetime. They operate in a manner that relies as much on calculating mind games as it does muscle. Often impossible to tell who is, and who isn’t on the right side of the law. The group falls into chaos when it is revealed that one of them has been working as an undercover police officer and is looking to shut down the operation from the inside. Beautifully shot on the streets of Paris, CASH has rightly drawn comparisons to Oceans Eleven and Twelve, but stands alone in providing a fresh, dynamic heist thriller that will keep audiences guessing throughout To win just send an email with CASH! in the subject line to comp@film-news.co.uk including your name, address and telephone number.
