Godspell (1973) is a feature film of Godspell (1971 Schwartz / Tebelak), musical, directed by David Greene.
Abstract
Sophomoric updating of Jesus' life with young bouncy disciples following their leader around modern-day New York. The movie well captured the spirit of the Jesus Movement of the 1970. The carnival and vaudeville atmosphere of Godspell shocked many but contributed significantly to free artists of the 70s and 80s to be adventurous in the way they dares to portray Jesus. Starring Victor Garber (Jesus), and David Haskell (John the Baptist).
