Borat: Cultural Learnings of America to Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
(USA, 2006, 82 minutes)
A boorish, misogynistic, anti-Semitic journalist from Kazakhstan is sent to report on American cultural mores. A sketch TV character is expanded into a full-length feature by way of a loosely threaded set of “candid camera” episodes whose offensive innocence turns out to put up a very disturbing mirror to contemporary American society and makes for distinctly uncomfortable, if often hilarious, viewing.
Twentieth Century-Fox presents a Four By Two/Everyman Pictures production, produced in association with Dune Entertainment and Major Studio Partners. Starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian. Directed by Larry Charles; produced by Sacha Baron Cohen and Jay Roach; screenplay by Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Peter Baynham and Dan Mazer, based on a story by Baron Cohen, Hines, Baynham and Todd Phillips, and on the character created by Baron Cohen; music by Erran Baron Cohen; directors of photography, Anthony Hardwick and Luke Geissbühler; Borat image created by Jason Alper; film editors, Peter Teschner and James Thomas.
