The sequel to
Borat coming
soon to Prime video.
It will be titled
Borat: Donation of a Pornographic Monkey to Vice President Mikhael Pence for the benefit of the recently diminished Kazakh nation.
The rights to the sequel to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's hit have been purchased by Amazon.
And the least we can say is that the
timing
is right, since the film will be released online on October 23, ten days before the US presidential election on November 3.
In 2006, the highly politically incorrect film, the full title of which is
Borat, Cultural Lessons on America for the Benefit of the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
, caused a sensation and pocketed more than $ 260 million.
He had even been selected for the Oscars in the category of best screenplay.
In this comedy mixing schoolboy humor below the belt and vitriolic criticism of American society, Sacha Baron Cohen pretended to be Borat, a Kazakh journalist, stupid and backward but a great admirer of the United States, who undertook to shoot a documentary on this country.
A journey as a pretext for incredible encounters with elected officials, students or very real cowboys, whose false journalist strove, without their knowledge, to bring out the faults and prejudices by playing his role of coarse and ignorant foreigner.
Borat's
sequel
was shot this summer with a reduced crew as soon as restrictions linked to the coronavirus pandemic were relaxed in the United States and elsewhere, says the specialist site Deadline.

filmed in the greatest secrecy and ready to be broadcast
In the trailer unveiled on October 1, we see that it was not easy for Sacha Baron Cohen to go unnoticed.
Several times recognized in the street in the guise of the Kazakh journalist, he decided to disguise himself to continue his "mission".
If his loyal sidekick Azamat, who was in charge of watching over him in the first film, doesn't seem to be there, Borat won't be alone.
He will be accompanied by "his daughter", who has no choice but to sit on the roof of the car, since
"only men and bears are allowed inside".
Apparently pregnant with him, he will try to marry her and will try to make her abort at a pastor.
We also discover that the actor went so far as to disguise himself as Donald Trump to interrupt Vice-President Mike "Pennis" Pence in the middle of a meeting.
These first images give the impression that the film, while it will not be pro-Democrat, will be decidedly anti-Republican.
Since
Borat,
Sacha Baron Cohen has made a specialty of trapping anonymous or celebrities by endorsing different characters, from the alleged rapper Ali G through the Austrian homosexual host Brüno.
In 2018, he took up this concept in a scandalous show,
Who is America?
(
Who is America
) in which he embarrassed various political figures.
He had thus provoked the resignation of an elected representative of Georgia whom he had trapped by posing as an Israeli expert in the fight against terrorism, pushing him to utter racist insults and to bare buttocks to intimidate a hostage taker .
Sarah Palin, unsuccessful candidate for the American vice-presidency and frequent target of the media, had also been the victim of his deceptions and had denounced the humor "
evil and perverse
" of the British comedian.
Sacha Baron Cohen is one of the lead roles in
The Chicago Seven
, which hits Netflix in October.
