(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 21 - When the going gets tough, Sacha Baron Cohen, the author, actor, English comedian with a sarcastic humor and brilliant imagination, falls in the field.
In times of Covid and the new American elections, relaunches and updates Borat, the crazy Kazakh reporter, a character that could not be more incorrect, quintessentially vulgar of every possible hysterotype.
It is a mockumentary, that is a fake documentary that seems real, a gigantic fake news in cinema format, a genre that Borat himself launched in 2006 with enormous box office success.
This time with "Borat - Followed by movies. Delivery of portentous bribe to American regime for the benefit of the glorious nation of Kazakhstan" - yes is the title - on the Amazon Prime Video platform from October 23rd, we enter Trump's America with a straight leg.
Borat is removed from his country's prisons and sent on a mission by his government to bring a sexy gift to US Vice President MichaelPence.
Before leaving, he passes through the very sad native village where he finds his home occupied by others and his daughter 15-year-old Tutar (Maria Bakalova) reduced to a slave in the pigsty.
The impact with America becomes a journey between agationists and immense supermarkets but above all an arcastic fable: Borat leads his daughter to become a real sugargirl, a showy kept with the aim of giving her as a child bride in Pence: therefore from a Kazakh slave pigs and mud to surgically redone, the cultural step in the end is short.
The little girl who is awake and reaches emancipation and even interviewing Trump's adviser Rudy Giuliani (he is genuine) and almost seducing him.
Back in Kazakhstan the plot twist: Borat was injected with the covid that all this wandering has spread around the world, mission accomplished!
Rather than openly attacking Trump, Baron Cohen presents Borat as a great admirer of his, out of racism and emysogyny by inducing a comic revolt in the viewer against depression from Covid.
