Fusing the instrumental approach of Eastern European gypsy music with the energy and attitude of punk rock, Gogol Bordello is one of the most unusual success stories of pop music in the new millennium, and Eugene Hutz hardly has the background of a typical rock frontman. Born near Kiev in 1972, Hutz and his family fled the Ukraine after the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, and they made their way through Eastern Europe as refugees before coming to America in 1990.

Choppy, high-energy documentary of the band's rise from a cult phenomenon to international acclaim.
It's an exhilarating document.
The nine-person circus is fronted by Eugene Hutz, a charismatic and photogenic character with a handlebar mustache and sordid stories to tell.
As fun as it is, it never makes a convincing case for its own existence. "Here's a cool band," Jimeno seems to be saying - and that's the extent of it.
Margarita Jimeno's documentary Gogol Bordello Non-Stop savors the early offerings of the band, gigging at Brighton Beach wedding parties and musing for second generation Russians to sold out phenomena tours across Europe.
Most of the best sequences simply give over to footage of Gogol's live performances, with lead singer Eugene Hütz often seen inviting audience members on stage for any number of gags or creative involvements.
Non Stop doesn't know how to hit it and quit; it's a rock doc that screams loud and says frustratingly little.
Basically I'm a fan of Gogol Bordello. And if you are a fan, what's not to like about this? Though the focus is primarily on frontsman Eugene Hutz, all the members of the band are interviewed about how they came to be with Gogol Bordello and their roles within the band. We see old family footage of Hutz in the Ukraine,

Gogol Bordello is an interesting band. This is on netflix instant streaming and I reccomened that you check it out. The band is described as a gypsy punk, and the lead singer often sports a curly mustash and is from some place in Russia. The story of the band is also more interesting than most since the lead singer
