Hützovina. Directed by Pavla Fleischer, the film chronicles Hütz's annual trip across Ukraine and Eastern Europe exploring his musical and cultural roots. Hütz played the lead character in Filth and Wisdom, a 2008 film that marked Madonna’s directorial debut. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival on 13 February 2008. Hütz wrote the introduction for the Subculture Books edition of Taras Bulba, released in December 2008. Hütz has worked with Les Claypool on various projects, including his performance on Claypool's album "Of Fungi and Foe" (on the track "Bite Out of Life"). Hütz appeared on the cover of the May 2013 issue of the Ukraine edition of Vogue, with Estonian model Kätlin Aas. Influence In the 2006 movie Wristcutters: A Love Story, the character of Eugene (played by Shea Whigham) is based on Hütz. Several of Hütz's songs are featured in the film. Hütz was also the inspiration for the character Evgeni (played by Oscar Isaac) in Madonna's film W.E. In the January 2008 Gucci menswear show in Milan, Hütz was cited as the key inspiration for the collection. Personal life In October 2008, Hütz told the LA Weekly that he had moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In November 2009, he told Página/12 that he had moved to São Paulo.
