A Liar’s Autobiography: The Untrue Story Of Monty Python’s Graham Chapman

Graham Chapman, probably best remembered as 'the dead one from Monty Python', writes and stars in the animated movie of his own life story... 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 3D animated feature of the same name... 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. Incredible, yes. Surreal, certainly. True? Who knows? At his memorial service, John Cleese called Chapman "a freeloading bastard". Now, as the film reunites Chapman with Cleese, Jones, Palin, and Gilliam for the first time in 23 years, he is set to earn a new title – the most prolific corpse since Elvis.
