Borat / Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan / USA / 2006

As a painfully acute demonstration of Red State biases and paranoia, Borat is a caustic, dynamic, and brilliantly subversive creation, but here a lot of the scenarios he incites (namely, a Winnebago ride with some frat boys) seem inauthentic. It is probably inevitable that Borat’s debut in film seems tired and less pointed than his intermittent appearances on Da Ali G Show, but he remains an inspired (and by some measure, necessary) indictment of an uniquely American bigotry.
