![]() (And by the way, much of this I learned from the press notes, not the film.) Arriving in NYC in the mid-'90s, the siblings were all home-schooled and infrequently allowed to leave their Delancey Street apartment once they moved to the Lower East Side. They traversed the country in a van in the early '90s, searching for opportunities for the father – who is philosophically opposed to work – to become a rock star. They were raised by a Peruvian dad and a hippie mom from the Midwest, who fell in love at Machu Picchu and traveled the world before landing at a Hare Krishna Center in West Virginia where daughter Visnu (who has special needs and is rarely seen in the film) and the first three boys were born. She chased them down, struck up a conversation, mentioned she was a filmmaker, and voilà! - a friendship was born.Īs time went on Moselle discovered the boys’ unusual upbringing. The film focuses on the Angulo brothers - eldest Bhagavan, the twins Govinda and Narayana, Mukunda (called the “alpha” of the pack), and younger siblings Krsna and Jagadisa (who now go by Glenn and Eddie, respectively, according to this interview they gave to Vogue) - whom Moselle first encountered not far from their Lower East Side apartment as they raced past her, catching the fashion filmmaker’s eye with their long hair and striking looks. Documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Crystal Moselle’s debut feature “The Wolfpack” is “the incredible true story of six teenage brothers raised in isolation in New York, with movies as their only outlet to the world,” according to the press notes that could also serve as a reality TV pitch.
