About Borat:
- Borat, a satirical Kazakh journalist
caricature invented and portrayed by Sacha Baron
Cohen, became a phenomenon in the U.K. with the
comedy series �Da Ali G Show,� in which Baron
Cohen�s outlandish humor and razor-sharp satire
on anti-Semitism, misogyny and racism, came to
life through his creation�s bizarre behavior and
interviews.
- Baron Cohen�s innovative and unique work has
brought him two BAFTA awards. �Da Ali G Show�
was a worldwide phenomenon, and Baron Cohen is
the only person to twice host the European MTV
Awards. Dictionaries added two words based on
his characters� �inventive� use of the English
language, and even the Queen Mother was a fan.
- Even before its release, critics heralded
BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE
BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN as one of
the funniest pictures of all time, and it became
the highest-rated comedy on the Internet Movie
Database (IMDB.com). The film�s humor and
acclaim stem from its comedy �dream team�: Sacha
Baron Cohen, Larry Charles from �Seinfeld� and
Jay Roach, director of the �Austin Powers�
films. Baron Cohen and Roach are the film�s
producers, with Charles serving as director.
- Borat is released in cinemas on November
3rd.
- Please note, cameras and recording equipment
will not be allowed inside the venue.
