JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson

Universal Pictures; Directed by Norman Jewison

Rated G; 108 minutes; 1973

A phenomenon and a visceral experience as well as a brilliant example of modern movie-making, Jesus Christ Superstar is a totally successful translation of the legendary rock-opera to the screen. Told entirely in song, images, and music, the story focuses on the last week of Christ’s life, including his betrayal and crucifixion, seen from Judas’ point-of-view.
