I LOVE 1973
Films

Andrew Lloyd Webber


Jesus Christ Superstar

The last week of Jesus Christ in rock-opera format! Enduring music and lyrics by the usual suspects Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

Director Norman Jewison gives the Passion Play a mod sensibility with a bus load of students turning up in the desert to perform a show and Judas ducking jet fighters halfway through a song.

Watch out for the high-tech weaponry in the hands of the ancient Romans.
