Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

It was thus necessary to wait almost fourteen years to discover the continuation of the adventures of Borat, a Kazakh reporter who was sent to the United States by the television of his country to shoot a report on the customs and daily life of Americans in the first part.

This time, while the elements of the first film earned him an imprisonment in the gulag of his country, he is released to offer a gift to a politician but things are not going to go as planned and here is Borat back in the United States. This time he is accompanied by his daughter. Once again, Sacha Baron Cohen gives us a social satire on American society and its discrepancy with Kazakhstan whose rules of good screenings have been reinvented for our greatest pleasure by the many screenwriters who worked on this film.

As in the first film, all the comic force of this one rests on the numerous hidden cameras that mark out this film and by the outrageous behavior of Borat who seems here ready to do anything to succeed in his mission even if it means offering his daughter as a pasture to politicians. The fact that the film is made in complete freedom and is broadcast directly on Amazon Prime Video means that it is perfectly in line with American current events, whether it be Donald Trump's presidential campaign, the coronavirus pandemic or other recent American affairs. Impossible not to laugh at the irresistible slaughter of Sacha Baron Cohen and the young actress Irina Nowak, who is just as crazy as him.

At a time when movie theaters are struggling to regain their audience in France or are for the most part still closed in the United States, it is easy to understand Sacha Baron Cohen's desire to offer his new film directed by Jason Woliner (director of several episodes of the series Parks and recreations, Players, Eagleman, The Last Man on Earth) directly on Amazon Prime video with a worldwide release. We can only validate this choice which allows to stick perfectly to the news and thus to reinforce some comic scenes perfectly orchestrated.
