Jesus Christ Superstar
dir. Norman Jewison (1973)
A feature-film, multiracial, hippie-toked, death-hallucinatory reenvisaging of the musical, set in the deserts of 1970s Israel and Palestine. Carl Anderson emerges unscathed as Judas. Most bizarre scene: Josh Mostel (King Herod) busting out moves that Mike Myers would channel for Austin Powers.
