Brüno

Brüno (2009) is a mockumentary comedy directed by Larry Charles — watch it online on iFILM. Sacha Baron Cohen plays Brüno, a flamboyant Austrian TV host of a gay fashion channel who loses his job in a single disastrous catwalk incident and heads to America determined to become the world's biggest celebrity. Hidden cameras roll as real, unsuspecting people encounter him one by one.

Politicians, military recruiters, religious advocates, hunters — none of them realize they are in a movie until it is far too late. Cohen plants Brüno in increasingly absurd situations to expose homophobia, the mechanics of fame, and the lengths ordinary people will go to avoid seeming intolerant. A follow-up to Borat in format and ambition, the film is sharper in its targets if harder to watch. Stream Brüno (2009) online on iFILM.
