One part Hair, one part Sunday School, three parts Marat/Sade. Reasonably deft lensing of dippy conceits and affectations.

Film versions of famous musicals have some value on that account, rare as they are. Godspell's projects are risky, even if they look and sound misbegotten to me. Harder to stake claims for it as a film.
