My spies tell me that one of the most buzzed about films at Toronto this year is Sacha Baron Cohen's awesome wicked Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan which gets a full US release in November. I can't wait.
Sure he's offensive, but like most great satirists, there's something more going on below the surface. He's able to send up all of the lunacy in Western culture so brilliantly. I think time shall tell that Cohen is one of the great comedians of our time.
For a great lark, check out Borat's website, in all of it's dated cheesy glory. I love the flaming "wow".
