Hava Nagila - The Movie
Film by Roberta Grossman (Ken Nirim, Los Angeles) Hava Nagila (The Movie) follows the song from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to thekibbutzim of Palestine to the cul-de-sacs of America. It excavates the layers of cultural complexity with humor, depth and heart – traveling the distance between the Holocaust to Dick Dale and his surf guitar, sometimes in the same sentence. It stops at key places – Ukraine, Israel, the Catskills and Greenwich Village, where Belafonte performed a hopeful version in the late 1950s, only to be countered by Bob Dylan, who butchers the song in his version Talkin’ Hava Negiliah Blues. The film covers Allan Sherman’s parody Harvey and Sheila, and Lena Horne’s civil rights anthem Now – both set to the tune of Hava Nagila. Transportation info:
1, 2, 3 trains to 86th St stop (on Broadway). B, C trains to 86th St stop (Central Park West). |
