Movie Review - Borat
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
directed by Larry Charles
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Oxford Studio Cinema
I think it's possible to love something and not kill it with hyperbole (not that you'd always believe that on this blog). Sacha Baron Cohen, who - in his show and again in this movie - stands up for the one person everyone around him runs down, trumps that fast-forgotten, flat-footed Ali G feature with a nimble, gentle "Borat." And it really has nothing to do with outrage or standing in the White House driveway or showing up in Cannes dressed in green and oxfords. There's a lot of warmth in "Borat," and that's enough.
