Brüno is a 2009 satirical comedy film directed by Larry Charles and starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the titular character. The film follows flamboyantly gay Austrian television reporter Bruno as he travels to the United States to become a celebrity.
Throughout the film, Bruno conducts brutally frank interviews with unsuspecting celebrities and politicians, often eliciting outlandish and controversial responses. He also involves himself in outrageous public displays of homosexuality, such as attending a swingers party and staging a photoshoot with an African-American baby.
Alongside the main character's antics, the film also explores themes of homophobia, cultural differences, and the entertainment industry's obsession with fame. It was controversial upon its release for its explicit sexual content and use of taboo subjects for comedic purposes.
Overall, Brüno is a provocative and often cringe-inducing comedy that pushes the boundaries of what is considered socially acceptable.
