JOHN CLEESE PACKS IT IN: CINEMA LIVE (12A)

From Cinema Live...

1 85-year-old Man, 5 Countries, 16 Cities, 23 shows, 6 weeks.

Will he make it home … or is this the end of the road?

One of the most recognisable figures in British comedy, John Cleese’s career spans six decades - from his early days with  the Cambridge Footlights to co-founding Monty Python, co-creating Fawlty Towers, and writing and starring in the  Oscar-nominated “A Fish Called Wanda”. His unique brand of black humour has made him a global icon and intergalactic treasure.

At the age of eighty five, John Cleese sets off on what might be his final European tour - five countries, sixteen cities, twenty-three shows, and retaining just two original body parts.

“John Cleese Packs It In” is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait

of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop.  

Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move - riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans. As he reflects on a stage career that began in 1963, the question lingers: is this the end of the road?

With unique and intimate access and showing unexpected tenderness, this is a documentary about legacy, laughter, and

the dignity of bowing out… however reluctantly.
