A vibrant chronicle of one of
today’s most notorious and
revered live bands, Gogol Bordello Non-Stop follows Eugene
Hütz’s gypsy-punk brigade around the world as they
spread their liberating libertine musical gospel. Filmmaker Margarita
Jimeno tracks their raucous gigs from 2001 to 2006, from NYC to Italy,
as the band rises from dingy basements to festival main-stages. The
cast is a rotating circus of polyglot personalities from Israel, Russia
and America, who dish on their music, their heritage, and their favored
vices. Hütz, a sardonic mustachioed Ukrainian immigrant and
the group ringleader, fuses his gypsy heritage with a love of punk rock
and burlesque. Part carnival barker, social organizer, and poet,
he’s a mesmerizing presence on-stage and off.
Gogol Bordello: Non Stop is an artful documentary that mixes flamboyant
costumes, intricate dance choreography, a relentless beat and an
explosive energy not seen since the dawn of rock
‘n’ roll.
