Original title: Bruno (USA, 2009) / Address: Larry Charles / Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen Gustaf Hammarsten / Duration: 81 mins.
Brüno leading marks the return of Sacha Baron Cohen to the big screen after his mega success Borat. It is a film even more crude and vulgar, but less funny and original than the last. For those who find pleasure in bold mood, there's plenty to enjoy. Those who are most sensitive, rather than abstain.
Cohen plays the title character, a leading Austrian host TV show about fashion's most popular German-speaking countries (except Germany). But due to an unfortunate incident at a parade Brüno is dismissed from the program, which was shut out of fashion. He decides to travel to the U.S. with the goal of becoming a celebrity. Ready for anything, will use different methods and characters to find instant fame.
style Brüno is practically the same as that of Borat . So, insert the character in the midst of looking uncomfortable situations the reaction of the people involved, all filmed with camera in hand, in the manner of a reality show or a hidden camera. To what extent seen here is really improvised goes beyond my knowledge. What is certain is that the history of Borat subtracted freshness to this resource. Like this, Cohen messes with groups that are easy targets for parody or reaction (religious zealots, homophobic, gross-southern rednecks USA-, African, Middle Eastern political leaders, etc). In other words, look for reactions of people who are by nature reactionary. On the other hand, the central story is very similar to Borat , in particular the relationship of the character with his assistant and eventual fall from grace. In short, the surprise factor is reduced.
Nevertheless, I must admit that many parts of me were very funny movie. As I said, overall the humor is fairly straightforward and vulgar (I refuse to use the term "politically incorrect"). In fact, I think the greatest merit of Cohen is the be no limits. Should be the mainstream comic more radical in its proposal (I can only think South Park at the same level), although at times his humor does not seem far removed from that seen on programs Marcelo Tinelli. But underneath the comedy tabloid exists an ironic and critical of contemporary society, which is something relegated from the impact of some things seen and heard here.
In conclusion, I recommend seeing Brüno without great expectations and with the exceptions of the case. He who laughed Borat, you will enjoy this movie. It's that simple. An hour and a bit of humor (Right) guides and a bit silly, but with some brains.
