Product Description: In the summer of 2004 on a car journey in Eastern Europe Pavla Fleischer met and fell in love with Eugene Hutz lead singer of New York's Gypsy Punk band Gogol Bordello. Captivated by his energy and his musical verve and desperate to get to know him better she decided to make a film about him. The Pied Piper of Hutzovina follows Eugene and Pavla on their subsequent road trip through Eugene's home country Ukraine. It is the story of two people traveling together on two very different courses. Her aim is to rediscover a forgotten romance; his is to rediscover his roots. She hopes to find love on the road; he hopes to find musical inspiration from the gypsy culture he is determined to preserve. This is an intimate portrait of a filmmaker with a passion for her subject and a punk musician with a longing to revisit his past. Theirs is a journey which tests their relationship and challenges their perceptions of the music they both love.System Requirements:Running Time: 65 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/BIOGRAPHY Rating: NR UPC: 829567049723 Manufacturer No: 670497
A Must For Gogol Bordello Fans We definitely enjoyed this video as it features Eugene Hutz, the lead person of Gogol Bordello, however it is a bit disjointed. The obvious attraction that the filmmaker, Pavla, had for her subject rather got in the way of a man searching for his roots.
Eugene is bigger than life and for Pavla to expect any different outcome was a bit naive, although I'm certainly glad she went ahead with the project. The DVD has quite a few extra features which is nice as many DVD's do not. If you're not familiar with Gogol Bordello, take a listen to one of their CDs or better yet, see them in concert, they are AMAZING.
