Borat Post Film (to be confirmed, 96 minutes) directed by Jason Woliner ***
While the 2006 “documentary” by Kazakhstan’s “sixth most famous man” was a worldwide success, it was not well received in the homeland of Borat Margaret Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen).
Potassium and pubic exports plummeted and the country became a laughing stock.
Enraged by the consequences, Kazakh officials sentenced Borat to a life of forced labor in a gulag. However, now that the United States is a very different place from the one George W. Bush runs, it may be that it has earned a break.

After he was “ruined” by “evil man” Obama, incumbent President “McDonald Trump” has made America great again and is a comrade to all of the global “tough guys” that Borat bosses want to be with. friends. To that end, the controversial journalist is released and assigned a new assignment. You must return to the US and present a gift (in addition to returning home with a chocolate cake) to a high-ranking Trump official to earn their respect. Your choice of present? Minister of Culture and number one porn star Johnny the Monkey.
After being inoculated with “gypsy tears”, Borat is granted a quick home visit before departing with his primate companion. The town isn’t exactly welcoming though, with one son, Huey Lewis, who changed his name to Jeffrey Epstein and the others wanted nothing to do with Borat. Then there is another surprise, she has a 15-year-old daughter, Tutar (24-year-old Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova), who, according to local tradition, lives in a barn and dreams of being like “Princess” Melania. – “the happiest wife in the world.” So when she hears that her father is leaving for America, she is desperate to join him, by whatever means necessary.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Margaret Sagdiyev is re-presenting another documentary for her beloved Kazakhstan on Subsequent Moviefilm.
As with the original, what follows is a taboo-breaking, scandalous, hilarious, and deeply disturbing road trip through the heart of America. As previously separated father and teenage daughter slowly begin to bond, they meet and interview Instagram influencers, pro-life “women’s health advisers,” plastic surgeons, debutante ball organizers and a group of Republican women, to expose their beliefs and prejudices in a now “calculator-crazy” country.
Cunningly, Baron Cohen is able to get around the problem that Borat is now famous, having him disguise himself as everything from Professor Phillip Drummond III (a sneaky reference to a certain ’80s sitcom) to a country singer and, uh, McDonald Trump. Then there’s the new ace up his sleeve, Bakalova. A comical tour-de-force and a revelation, his Beverly Hills 90210-esque casting is inspired and is key to one of the most illuminating and controversial settings in the film: the interview with “America’s mayor.”

A disguised Borat and his daughter Tutar run away after taking a large sting.
But while that piece sets, Borat’s confinement with two QAnon members and the ending Usual suspects-esque carpet-pulls are bold and really amazing, not everything works and certainly many of them are in questionable taste.
Like anyone who has seen Baron Cohen’s 2018 series Who is America? You’ll know, you have to fight your way through a lot of potentially offensive and obnoxious material to get to the real truth of what he’s trying to say, and the gold nuggets of comedy.
Many viewers likely don’t make it through the first 15 minutes, but there is a payoff for those who do. You may not approve of their methods, but the results are shocking and, at times, outrageously fun.
Director Jason Woliner (who has directed some episodes of the What we do in the shadows TV series) clearly has the style of mockumentary, but perhaps it does not show the restraint or skill exhibited by Seinfeld the teacher Larry Charles in the original (something that perhaps can also be attributed to having 10 writers, instead of the five from 2006).

Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat as McDonald Trump causes chaos at a Conservative Political Action Conference.
However, on the other hand, Baron Cohen’s risk-taking this time is rewarded with a perfectly timed release (the movie ends by urging American viewers to vote).
A double bill of this and the impressive and most sobering Alex Gibney. Fully under control It couldn’t be more damning about the current disorder and disharmony in the “home of the brave.”
