Jesus Christ Superstar

1h 48m · 1973 · Directed by Norman Jewison · 3.8 / 5 on Letterboxd

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) runs 1h 48m, directed by Norman Jewison. It is one of 3,647 films in the 100 Minute Movies catalog — every one rated 3.0 or higher by Letterboxd members and short enough to finish in an evening.

As played out by a theatre troupe, the last days of Jesus Christ are depicted from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, his betrayer. As Jesus' following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene.
