Film: 2009: July: Brüno

Sacha Baron Cohen is Brüno

In 2006, two-time BAFTA-winning performer SACHA BARON COHEN brought Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev to the big screen in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Exposing shocking hypocrisies of Western culture, Baron Cohen, director LARRY CHARLES and their crew used guerrilla-style filmmaking to create a worldwide comedy event that took audiences and critics by storm.

The film led to Baron Cohen’s win of a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy and shared Oscar® nomination for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay. By allowing audiences to laugh and cringe at ridiculous prejudices, the team engineered a breakout hit that earned more than $260 million at the global box-office and set a new standard of risky provocation.

Now, the creator, star, writer and producer of Borat and Da Ali G Show has created the gutsiest, craziest and most dangerous comedy to be released in mainstream theaters.
