After his recent lightning, whirlwind and often hilarious visit to Australia to publicise his new film, it would have been totally remiss not too see ‘Bruno’.

Cutting to the chase, and I know this is pretty unbelievable thing to say, this film is even more outrageous, politically incorrect, and extreme than Cohen’s own recent visit to our shores.

Cohen’s latest character creation is colourful and uncompromising. Bruno is totally driven to be rich and famous, letting nothing and no-one get in his way. At the start he is a little known Austrian fashion journalist, by the end he has had about a hundred different jobs, all in add of his pursuit.

There’s a sense that ‘Bruno’ is Cohen’s satirical war on everything. Where is Cohen coming from? He’s trying to do is to undercut everything. Something along the lines, everyone takes them too seriously; hey, let’s lighten up, a lot!

Everything and everybody gets the Cohen treatment. From politicians to players in the fashion industry to celebrities to religious leaders to pushy parents, the list is endless.

Cohen’s humour is to throw everything in, including the kitchen sink. The style is cerebral , crude, frenetic, impulsive, and devoid of warmth or sensitivity.

My favourite Bruno moments. At the swinger’s party, the blonde bimbo who chases and whips Bruno around the room, trying to get him to perform, before he goes crashing out the bedroom window. I’ll also throw in the meeting between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders where hilariously the leaders confuse the terms, hummus and Ha-mas.

Summing up, the mockumentary ‘Bruno’ won’t be every-one’s cup of tea, but that’s hardly Cohen’s intention. The film has a lot of cheap shots but then there are also some moments of telling social satire.
