LOL...it's an off the wall dystopian, Orwellian film,written by Terry Gilliam and Tom Stoppard, so no, not Pythonesque and most assuredly hardly TIME BANDITS...which I also loved.

Give it another try, the next time it's on TCM; you may like it more now, because you were disabused of your original idea about what it would be like, before you saw it.

Oh, I have seen it several times since ... have the DVD. It’s a very intricate film and you can’t take your eyes off it for a minute, or the thread simply disappears.
