They started out as a determined, talented, but struggling
klezmer band and within a few years became, as someone comments in Erik
Greenberg Anjou's documentary The
Klezmatics: On Holy Ground
(2011), "the Jewish equivalent of arena rock." Anjou follows the band for four
years, taking in their ups and downs, their concerts, and the recording
sessions for their hit album Wonder Wheel. A genial, sometimes bumpy tour propelled by
the exuberance and richness of the music, it Wednesday, January 11 screens through Sunday, January 15 at the
Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | $11; $9 students, seniors |
