A Liar&#;s Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python&#;s Graham Chapman
It's important to understand just what A LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY is before going in, or it can easily confuse. Even though he died in , the actual Chapman narrates, thanks to an audio recording made before his death. Four of Chapman's former Monty Python colleagues -- John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Terry Jones -- provide voices (Eric Idle was not involved).
The movie's animation style changes radically for every sequence. Some, such as a sequence aboard a military aircraft, fall flat. Others deliberately evoke the surreal, sometimes off-putting style of Yellow Submarine.

Description
First published in , A Liar’s Autobiography, Volume VI is Graham Chapman’s extraordinary and surreal account of his more than eventful life – whether as mountaineer or medical student; actor or alcoholic; heterosexual groupie guzzler or homosexual coming to terms with himself.
He was a celebrated member of the Monty Python team and his zany wit became familiar to millions of viewers worldwide in assorted roles as military colonel, policeman and doctor and as the eponymous hero of the Python film The Life of Brian.
‘Amateur psychologists who think it is clever to explain the character of the late man from a jumble of largely fictitious memories can ferret for their filth in other peoples autobiographies. They have opened the wrong book.’ Authors warning.
‘It’s the Magna Carta and Valley of the Dolls all rolled into one …’ Michael Palin
‘Required reading for Monty Python fans.’ The New Yorker
‘I thought it was a liar’s autobiography until I read
