Bruno Footage Preview at SXSW Festival

Sascha Baron Cohen took the success of his Ali G Show to unparalleled success when he released Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. So what seems like forever after that first film set some unprecedented comedy and cultural commentary, Cohen has been working really hard to duplicate the success with his overtly homosexual character Bruno. And you can get your first look at the South by Southwest Film festival.

MovieWeb says:

Universal Pictures recently announced that this weekend at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2009 in Austin, there’s going to be a sneak preview screening of some Bruno footage at Fantastic Fest on Sunday, March 15th at 11:00pm.

In this new film the flamboyant Austrian fashionista Brüno (Sasha Baron Cohen) takes his show to America.

As much as I loved Borat for its absolute genius disguised as low brow shock humour, I just don’t see myself enjoying Bruno.

Bruno was brilliant as it insulted American culture and had them laughing along with it, and it was brewed on the premise that Borat was a real journalist and seeing the real and genuine reactions of those he interviewed. I just don’t see the same thing happening with Bruno.

In most of the sneak clips we have seen, Bruno simply acts flamboyantly gay in public and waits for people to react. That would get tired for me after about 3 minutes.
