In 2009's Bruno , comedian Sacha Baron Cohen plays a gay fashionista who pushes the limits. It was mostly shot like a documentary (as was Cohen's previous film Borat ), which meant that many of the people in the film didn't realize who they were really dealing with. That required Cohen putting himself in a number of uncomfortable and even dangerous situations with many annoyed people — many of whom didn't care for Bruno's sexual orientation, his dopey fashion-related questions, or his provoking antics in his attempts to realize his dream of becoming a celebrity.

Shooting Dates: Filmed over 19 consecutive weeks in 2008

Who is 'Bruno'?: Sacha Baron Cohen plays Bruno, an over-the-top, outlandish, gay Austrian fashionista, who describes himself as "the host of the top-rated late night fashion show in any German-speaking country… apart from Germany." He later moves to America to become "the biggest Austrian celebrity since Hitler ."

Shooting Locations: Los Angeles, New York City, Washington DC, Kansas, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, and Israel

She Knows

In many ways watching Sacha Baron Cohen promote his new movie Bruno , from his GQ layout and MTV Awards Eminem stunt to the series of global premiere stunts, from London to L.A. to Sydney , is more fun than the movie itself. While his performance art gives us a bit of distance, in the movie Larry Charles and Baron Cohen push audiences way past their comfort zones. No matter how sophisticated or tough you think you are–straight, gay, male, female, young, old–it doesn’t matter. Something in the movie will make you squirm. (Here’s Todd McCarthy. )
Me? [SPOILER ALERT] I had less trouble with simulated gay sex between Bruno and his diminutive boyfriend, complete with various accessories and black squares covering penetration, than I did with a sequence at a real swingers party that ends with a giant nipple-ringed dominatrix whipping Baron Cohen as Bruno (he flees, naked, into the night). That, Charles told me, was real. And the MPAA granted this movie an R-rating–thanks to various snips and black squares over private parts (shades of Eyes Wide Shut ). One Universal exec admitted that those squares had to be made bigger to get the R-rating and definitely made the images more, not less, disturbing.
If ever a movie has earned an NC-17 rating, this is it. Now that I’ve seen Bruno , which is politically incorrect, button-pushing, brilliant, diabolical, provocative, challenging and often very funny, I understand the reactions I’ve been getting: not, “you have to see this,” “it’s hilarious” or “it’s going to be huge.”
People tend to talk in subdued, muted terms about how the movie made them feel: uncomfortable. And that sort of word-of-mouth–despite whatever opening Universal manages to muster with its superb global marketing and awareness–will tamp down Bruno ‘s potential box office . Of course, even if we Puritan Americans resist Bruno ‘s crude charms, the rest of the world may embrace them. (Not so sure.)
When Bruno struts a rakish short-shorts Hasidic outfit in Israel and an outraged Jew chases him down the street, you watch with a mix of amusement and horror. For one thing, Baron Cohen demanded a reaction, and got it. He was fearless. He was in danger of starting a riot and had to run for his life (a shopkeeper had to harbor him until he could sneak into one of many getaway cars used during the shoot). The LAT’s John Horn quotes Universal’s Bruno production notes on how much danger the filmmakers courted while making Bruno . What will the adrenaline junkie do next to top this?
