Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

2006 · TMDB 6.8

Directed by Larry Charles

Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture.

Why it matters

Baron Cohen's Kazakh journalist tours the United States with a documentary crew and a producer who may be the only sane man in the film. The rodeo scene and the dinner party remain masterclasses in letting a room incriminate itself.
