Movie: Brüno (2009)

“Br?no is a gay Austrian fashion guru. He has his own fashion based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant’s assistant. Lutz is the only person left in his circle that still believes in Br?no’s greatness. Br?no goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far removed from his own self. Perhaps when Br?no finds an activity that he truly does love, he will also find that ?ber-fame he so desperately desires. Written by Huggo”

  • Run Time: 81 min

Tagline: Borat was so 2006

Trivia: Originally got a NC-17 rating from the MPAA, but after Sacha Baron Cohen re-edited it it received an R.

Goofs: Continuity: In the diner scene where Bruno commits “carbicide” the exterior light goes from night to day then back to night.

Borat trickster Sacha Baron Cohen returns to the big screen to offer yet another stinging dose of sociopolitical satire in this comedy that finds him assuming the persona of gay fashionmonger Bruno, the self-proclaimed “voice of Austrian youth TV.” Originally conceived as part of Cohen’s cult television series Da Ali G Show, the character of Bruno offered a cleverly costumed Cohen the opportunity to highlight the absurdities of the fashion industry by interviewing unsuspecting fashion icons and other haute couture hangers-on.

Comedy lightning strikes twice for mickey-take meister Sacha Baron Cohen when his gay Austrian fashionista runs amok in America. In this bargain-basement narcissus’ never-ending quest for “celebrity”, Bruno attempts to seduce a onetime presidential hopeful, adopts a black African baby and provokes a near riot at a caged boxing bout in Texas. Essential exposure of redneck prejudice skips hand in hand with elaborate candid camera-style con tricks. Borat buffs will know exactly what to expect.
