Gogol Bordello interview at Berlinale 2008

[nico17water]

Anarcho-Syndicalism? I am so much more in love with him now. shit!

[hardkoredylan]

"That will be my next dream project...in the next while". Awesome

[Jugglerclown]

haha I made the same joke with my brother, I was telling him while ago that if there were westerns here in east, they would be called easterns.. he didn't laugh :D

[homespunB]

The interviewer is sooo under his charm!

[homespunB]

What's the name of the fucking song at the beginning! TELL ME OR I'LL CUT MYSELF!

[fishfatale]

@homespunB no need to cut, it is "Let's Get Radical"

[antsman88]

on a serious note - just how much did Sacha Baren Cohen base Borat on this man?!?!

[telegramsam]

his moustache has its own fanclub by now I think. Or, it should.

[jaymusseato]

>there's NO HIERARCHY when MADONNA wants to make a MOVIE with ya?????

>GYPSY = GYP !!!

[Lucebby]

1:17-1:21 HOT!

[wickedseymour1]

Great interviewer. Because she never talks. Beautiful too!

[ihadsexlastnightsex]

Making Slavic accent sound AWESOME in English- is a sign of genius.

What astrological sign is he???

[fishfatale]

@ihadsexlastnightsex He's Virgo and he mentions it :)

[thatguychip]

Eugene is awesome but Cave's movie was fucking great, it fit his type of dark creative mind.

[Kendurxox]

Nor do I want to get over, or can i get over how much I love him.

[trollpatrol21]

Lovin them man titties

[touchanka]

NO UNLIKES FELLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quakingphear]

They zoom in on his man cleavage a lot.

[JadyLester]

"virgo-driven." HYPER-PERFECTIONIST. They'll be so busy polishing the scenery, they'll never finish!

[gyozop]

Yes, I checked and he has Gypsy blood too, true. But don't be racist. Nations are aso mainstream ethnics. Ethnic is a term that refers to some genetic, but mostly inherited and acquired cultural background. So this way he and is art are a mixture of his German-Gypsy-Ukrainan-American learnt skills. That's rare, however in his marketing only Gypsy is emphasised. To belong to a minority is fashion. Check the pop-folk music of the Balkans, very similar. All good music, he is good too.

[mustainehater]

russian is clearly his first language, i very much doubt he speaks any ukrainian at all...

i'd like to knock back a few with him, swell guy :)

[gyozop]

It's almost true. He is Ukrainan, American, German but not at all Gypsy. That is the pretentious business part of his identity. Though I like him and this music, he is a special talent for sure.

[zchwise523]

@gyozop He is half Romani. It has nothing to do with nationality, it is an ethnic term. My family is Romani and we are from Ukraine.

[PutridPeacock]

@gyozop late comment, but for the record, he's 1/4 romani (gypsy)

[FunnyFeminist]

I'm sure he's talking about the September Virgos, not those poseur August Virgos.

[alienfingers]

Worst cameraman ever.

[snilrach]

the interviewer is gorgeous

[andrefreakincreator]

This is one of the ways real people talk, ok? Is it clear? OK...

[amadeoama]

great great greeeeeeeeeat!!!long live  eugene!!!

[goldenmen24]

i love this guy and admire his ambition to be creative and interesting, but he reminds me of almost BORAT like.

[thefish649]

@goldenmen24 What the hell are you talking about, Nothing about him is borat like besides his accent and mustache, sort of. He IS creative and interesting.

[2405efrapix]

i dont understand a shit!! jajaja but i admire this guy!! has style

[gulagga371]

Lol, chappy talking about critics and Criticizing Nick Cave Film straight away with the Knob face on, as if he did actually get it..

Just tell I didn't like it and shut your face. Hippocratic gyppo,

I do like some of his music... Nearly as good as "Leningrad"

Stage performance Looks Very good..

But with the rest he need to grow up really..

Punk never meant Knob.

[fushigilady]

can someone explain the Point to Point B physics concenpt he's talking about?>

[fakeman345]

@fushigilady Maybe the concept of contorted space-time--potentially making a straight line between two points almost impossible. I've heard him talk about physics before in interviews actually. I think he's interested in it and he's using it as a model to display the complexity of the universe and the mystery of it and how the fuck do you know who's in charge with all this impossible shit going on around us every day. Money.Fame.Fortune.Power. All Bullshit. Everyone is equal, always & forever.

[sanity394]

He has a little accent in russian))

[bigcolombian]

I wouldn't be too surprised. i believe that he is originally from the Ukraine and is 1/4 Romanian.

[teayangxxooo3]

i can't understand..lol

[fishfatale]

"yes, you can!" ;)

just wait till the first 2 minutes are over

[junglepunk13]

goooooood!

[ymb91]

he's the biggest inspiration i've ever had. he's so smart in so many ways.

[diKhvedee]

Russians & Ukrainians are the same despite political differences. And he spoke in Russian, not Ukrainianactualy

[casperado666]

we're not the same. Different languages, culture, mentality and heritage (Ukr - slavic, Russian - finno-ugric).

And he's not speaking ukr cause russia was killing our culture for 300 years now, similar shit happened in Scotland and Ireland etc. Hope you learned smth. new. Cheerz

[WINNNY22]

@casperado666 fuck up! what is ukranian culture if it comes from the old rus what is now russia! polish maza faka

[casperado666]

@WINNNY22 Main tribe in the Kievan Rus were eastern Polans, in Poland western Polans, so yeah we have similar heritage. Russkies are a mixture of finno-ugric tribes, tatars and slavs, their language is a crippled version of old bulgarian and the real rusyn-ukrainian language. Peder I of Russia stole the name of Rus which was only known as Moscovia before nad wasn't concidered slavic by european scolars.

[WINNNY22]

@casperado666 what you doing in germany my polish "friend"?))

[casperado666]

@WINNNY22 stalking your mom

but what does that have to do with anything?

[pureecstasy]

watch him on EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED. equally brilliant, in a diff way tho. laughed my ass off, what a gem:)

[husker23]

I envy his stash!

[GIMMEADOLLAR1]

Step 1: Get Eugene drunk.

Step 2: Get him talking.

Step 3: Awesome.

[hunnybunny21]

i know....i don't know why i said that. i love Ukrainians :)

[JulieWong80]

SO NOW I HAVE TO LIVE.. IN THIS FCKIN TIME OF NO STYLE AND NO CLASS

The whole interview was awesome, but can someone repost 2:55 4:00 as a clip called Eugene Hutz on Fcking Failure...? It deserves way more attention.

[pureecstasy]

fuckin brilliant or whatttt.

i could love a guy like that, seriously

[hunnybunny21]

i fucking love Russians.

[cbizrap]

one of the coolest guys walking the earth...he's the rasputin, or harry whodini of modern culture.

[majimafia]

"even if you fail so fucking what!"

great

[retidahling]

His whole bit on failure is amazing

[kisssmykixxx]

he's SUPER HOT!

[EmilDeRiga]

Eugene Hutz is one of the few culture heroes that live in our time.

zhenia prixadi visrael! Pozhalusta, ti nomer 1!!!

[lilangi]

супчик!

[anilegna]

what's he saying! I need to learn his language so i can understand! man.. he sounds hot anyway.

[fishfatale]

Only the beginning is in Russian, by the way ;)

[gfmgma]

I defently envy his mustache

[gfmgma]

ahm...subtitles? =(

[fishfatale]

maybe subs are gonna be later

he speaks Russian only the first 2 minutes then switches to English

cheers :)

[AntiJonasZone]

@fishfatale

The language. You said "He speaks Russian for the first 2 minutes"

But it's Ukranian.

(:

[fishfatale]

@AntiJonasZone oh, believe me, it's Russian ;) it's okay, Russian is the second official language in Ukraine.

[VuykoZPolonyny]

@fishfatale no it's not the second official language and never will be :)

[fishfatale]

@VuykoZPolonyny Point taken. I was affected by the fact that Russian language is still widely spoken in some areas, including Kiev. But i recklessly called it "official", sorry.

[thccure]

@fishfatale russian is NOT second official language in Ukraine , if it was than it would be called Russia not Ukraine ,, it just so happened that Ukraine was under soviet union for a while .. same story with most post soviet countries where people fluent in both - their language and russian language , good day

PS. Huntz kicks ass !! GB keep up the awesome work ! thumbs up !

[WINNNY22]

@AntiJonasZone maza faka!what do you about ukrainian or russian language!NOTHING muther fucker so shut up!

[AntiJonasZone]

@WINNNY22

You clearly know nothing about the English language. Shut the fuck up, acting tough over the internet doesn't work you fucking retard.

[stunnerdee]

Super well done,  ilove this!

[chhavinandaaa]

AHHH AAMAZINGGG!

[deedee9]

what's the first song?

[GeezerLopez]

Let's Get Radical

[NOTxTHATxGUITAR]

Wow, he's a genius.

[Hemloxx]

[1Roma2Gypsys]

I know this scriptwriter, you may have seen their work. Very well trained, got a good story to tell.

[francoisegilot]
