Video Review

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

A hippy-styled acting troupe steps off their bus in the Israeli dessert to perform a rock opera about the last days of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of Judas.  Being a traitor, it is not surprising that Judas gets a few things wrong and possesses a skewed sense of his worth in this historic saga.

Even though we know how the story will end, the journey is both our reward and our pleasure. In anachronistic manner, Superstar treats us to juxtaposed realities of the modern with the ancient.  Despite a dated 70s feel to the directing and choreographing, the music is timeless and inspiring.  Rather you watch it for the first time or the tenth, the message and the music are sure to mesmerize.
