It's to music what the bagel is to food - a Jewish staple that has transcended its origins and become a worldwide hit. Bob Dylan sang it. Elvis, too. And that's only the beginning when it comes to Hava Nagila. Follow the infectious party song on its fascinating journey from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the cul-de-sacs of America in this hilarious and surprisingly deep film. Featuring interviews with Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Leonard Nimoy, Regina Spektor and more, HAVA NAGILA (THE MOVIE) takes viewers from Ukraine and Israel to the Catskills, Greenwich Village and Hollywood, using the song as a springboard to explore Jewish history and identity and to spotlight the cross-cultural connections that can only be achieved through music.
Leave your thoughts about Hava Nagila: The Movie.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsEverything you ever wanted to know about Hava Nagila but were afraid to ask, except:: 'What's the deal with the ritual of raising a chair in the air like you don't care?' |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterFun and illuminating...The movie as well as the song serve as fitting, entertaining testaments to the resilience of the Jewish people. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis richly entertaining documentary relates the history of the ubiquitous song that has been covered by everyone from Lena Horne to Elvis. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferOne of those rare, crowd-pleasing documentaries that compels you to tap your toes and leaves you with a great big smile on your face from ear to ear upon exiting the theater. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonThe attitude is so much fun and the story so involving that a little naches is forgivable. |
| National PostChris KnightYou know you're in for an irreverent documentary when the narrator asks: "What's up with this song?" |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonWhat does it mean? Do we really care? We should. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowIt is annoying, frustrating, embarrassing, and irresistible, which makes it a perfect Rorschach test and intriguing metaphor for contemporary Jewish identity. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThankfully there are enough eloquent talking heads to keep this watchable. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperAs one interviewee says the song "is a melody that evokes new life, hope, and joy." The song does that and so does HAVA NAGILA (THE MOVIE). |
