Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe audio under the opening credits is from a sketch Chapman regularly used to perform, where he asked a live audience at the start of the show to give him "thirty seconds of abuse", as this saved time later on. For this movie, specially recorded abuse was added from John Cleese, Sir Michael Palin, Terry Jones (shouting Medieval curse words), Terry Gilliam, Carol Cleveland, and David Sherlock, Chapman's former partner. One of the investors in this movie can also be heard shouting "I want my f**king money back!"
- GoofsSigmund Freud's name is misspelled as "Seigmund Freud" in the opening title sequence and closing credits.

Featured review
hilarious, incredible animation film on one of the most iconic Pythons!
A Liars Autobiography is a celebration of the life of the elusive and eccentric Graham Chapman. The film is narrated by Chapman himself (he had recorded audio tapes of his memoirs) and the animation alone is a visual feast. It varies in style which suggests that aside from the obvious comedy, the film is much more perceptive and sophisticated than on first glance.
Chapman led a surreal life and was known by the people that knew him as anything but one dimensional. The film depicts just that as well as the reality that perhaps Chapman himself didn't really know who he was. The sequence I most enjoyed was the one depicting Chapman's alcohol withdrawal symptoms, handled with sensitivity and complemented by the eerie & Burton-Esq animation of insects crawling around Chapman whilst he lies in bed, this is a sequence that adds yet another layer to Chapman's identity.
You don't need to be a Monty Python fan to appreciate this film; its sheer brilliance lies in the animation and it's psychedelic depiction of one of the most iconic Pythons. A pleasurable watch, highly recommend.
