Borat: Cultural Learnings of America
for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

directed by Larry Charles

with Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian

Set loose in the wilds of America, Sacha Baron Cohen's (Ali G, that gay NASCAR driver from Tallageda Nights) creation Borat, a naive, racist, charming reporter from a dark fantasy Khazakstan, interviews, cajoles, hoodwinks and shocks everyone he meets—none of whom have any idea they are being put on—in the most piercing and gut-busting film perhaps ever. "The first thing that must be said about Borat is that it's screamingly, hysterically, laugh-through-the-next-joke, laugh-for-the-next-week funny. It's so inventive, so rich with comic moments, so outrageous, so shocking and unexpected, and so blithely willing to be offensive that it consistently leaves viewers off balance—and howling. This is a film by an original and significant comic intelligence." (SF Chronicle) more at boratmovie.com
