Les aventures du personnage de Bruno, un homosexuel autrichien, roi de la mode créé par Sacha Baron Cohen pour son émission de télévision Da Ali G Show. (Sony Pictures Releasing France)
Critiques (8)
Sur le même schéma que dans Borat (un européen bizarre part faire carrière aux États-Unis et est accompagné par un assistant avec lequel il se dispute d'abord et se réconcilie ensuite), un type d'humour étiré mais différent et en même temps très similaire. L'humour dans Borat ne tournait cependant pas seulement autour des orifices anaux et d'un petit enfant noir adopté. C'est pourquoi il me semblait probablement plus diversifié, plus proche et plus original. Cependant, cela ne change rien au fait que Sacha Baron Cohen est l'un des meilleurs comédiens vivants. Et je crois qu'il a aussi du talent pour le jeu d'acteur sérieux.

Cohen makes fun of absolutely everything, often in a very crude way, but it works out for him. It’s incredibly funny, satirical, politically incorrect and intentionally embarrassing, but as a film, the story is a bit haphazard. But who cares when you’re having such great fun?

Brüno, just face it: Derek Zoolander is simply a prettier, but really a prettier class of guy. Your bad luck lies in the fact that you have always been so obviously the “third wheel" even in the days when Sacha Baron Cohen was still really funny and original (i.e. in the days of short sketches with Borat and Ali G). But what now, when he’s just regurgitating himself and has trouble coming to terms with feature length productions. As a result he spends more time puckering his butt to the camera than criticizing public attitudes. In other words, I think that Cohen no longer has anything to say through the mouth of Ali/Borat/Brüno and should begin to consider a different alter ego.

I see that Brüno currently has a very nice 61% score on this website. I would rather undergo a small vivisection than watch Brüno again. So what if every now and then Cohen makes a joke that works, when it's dysfunctional and fragmented as a whole, full of filler or awkward attempts at humor that completely miss the mark for me? Yes, I suffered, a lot. I didn't see Borat back in the day, and even though I was determined to work my way up to it, I have no desire or courage for it anymore. Overall impression: 20%.

Borat was still rather normal, Bruno, on the other hand, is a total, self-indulgent pervert who has lost one but important advantage over his Kazakh brother: the moment of surprise.

I like Borat better... But then again, Borat, as capable a reporter as he is, didn't do as great of an interview with Harrison Ford. I'll give Bruno that. The rest of the film is worth remembering for the child casting (possibly the best scene ever), the Middle East peace mission, the ending in the wrestling arena and the great song. Otherwise, I especially appreciate Cohen's courage and ability to make a complete fool of himself and embarrass others.

Outrageous sham. Cohen is a complete lunatic, capable of embarrassing and ridiculing anyone who comes along – and surprisingly, he's got away with it so far. While in Borat he scored with his ability to wring the absolute maximum out of a completely hollow story, and his raunchy humour was, with the exception of one scene, dispensed in a proper, varied and very effective measure, here everything is played on just one card – and let me tell you that it is no ace of spades. I don't know what Cohen was trying to accomplish, but I certainly didn't like the dirty talk, the hideous outfits, the vibrators and the endless anal references. What cannot be denied, however, is Bruno’s enormous vigour, inventiveness and the persistence with which he flew into the heterosexual world and which this time, if only a little bit, patched up the wasted potential of one of the most talented comedians of our time:) Maybe next time...

This is the film that I like the least from Sacha Baron Cohen's filmography. There are funny moments here that absolutely got me, but this alter ego is just too caricatured, overly exaggerated, and even overacted. It's Cohen's trademark to be offensive, which doesn't bother me, but at times it's just silly and lacks the natural, unscripted documentary feel of Borat. Here, everything feels too staged, too forced. The second time around, it simply didn't charm me as much.
