If you, like me, saw "Borat" and thought it so completely pushed the bounds of decency that it could never be topped, think again. "Brüno" does just that. Cohen again mines "Da Ali G Show" for a character in a sort of a guerilla mockumentary, where Cohen, as the flamboyantly Austrian gay Brüno, creates a pastiche of real and imagined, placing his fictional character into the real world and interacting with people. The results are equal parts searing social commentary and mean-spirited TMZ-style ambush cinema.
