NSFW: Borat in Cannes
Ali G. goes "R" in Cannes, totally half-nekkid in the guise of the Kazakh journo, Borat. Earlier, Matt Dentler wrote of its work-in-progress Croisette preview: "While in New York, some late-night channel surfing has Borat stumble upon an episode of Baywatch. He becomes infatuated with Pamela Anderson and decides that he must take his TV project to Los Angeles so that they can be united. Switching gears, he and his team purchase an ice cream truck and drive it cross-country. Along the way, they continue to document the clueless Americans they encounter, including a frustrated driving instructor, a Southern etiquette coach, some drunken frat boys, Evangelical churchgoers, and much more. Believe it or not, this sketch-turned-feature actually sustains itself, as Cohen and director Larry Charles blend in real interview moments with scripted scenes involving Borat and his crew. Plus, the Pamela Anderson storyline gives a thread for all these seemingly random events." [This constitutes a heavy news day.]
