In Gogol Bordello Non-Stop, the gypsy-punk band looks back on the progression of the group from small-time eccentrics to big-name entertainers. Hailing from the Lower East Side, Gogol Bordello is known for their electrifying and carnival-like shows, especially with Ukrainian-born frontman Eugene Hutz, whose stage antics are nothing short of theatrical and grand. The documentary, directed by Margarita Jimeno, not only gives audiences a peek into the band's world of bedlam, but also provides context for a lot of the members' lives. The New York Times' Stephen Holden highlighted how Hutz' onstage and offstage persona come together: "He emerges as a passionate, articulate philosopher of punk’s democratic participatory aesthetic who espouses the rejection of social hierarchies in concerts that are raucous, bacchanalian performance-art carnivals." — Michelle Geslani

Just a note to Jen and the editors: I really like what you've done with these Friday movie postings. The click-through photo/caption format is awesome.
But this is a Gothamist post, so I guess I have to say something nasty as well. So, err, I can't stand people who take their pugs on the subway. They just really get my goat. Grrr.
White on Rice doesn't appear to be playing anywhere near NYC though. At least not according to Google.
