Opera hii ya rock inatoa taswira mpya ya siku za mwisho za Yesu Kristo kupitia macho ya Yuda Iskariote. Kikundi cha maigizo kinasafiri na kuonyesha hadithi hiyo, kikichunguza mada za umaarufu, imani, na usaliti dhidi ya mandhari ya jangwa inayoonekana wazi.

Reviewer notes

Recommended

Norman Jewison shipped everyone to Israel to help give this adaptation of the Lloyd Webber/Rice hit rock opera as much authenticity as possible for the big screen. Ted Neeley dons the robes for the title role and ably aided by a very much on form Carl Anderson (Judas) and Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) reimagines the stage performances that take us from modern day through the ages to the lifetime of Christ.

RecommendedTrusted family reviewers

Risky adaptation of a great musical with catchy songs. Carl Anderson performs a great Judas. Some of the other actors are quite good too, like Barry Dennen as Pontius Pilate but Ted Neeley as Jesus is quite a whimp. In any case, a very interesting adaptation of a musical which deserves to be watched at least once.
