The Sacha Baron Cohen movie I’m waiting for: Sacha, playing Yankel, a Lubavitch Jew, “punks” a variety of Europeans, demonstrating not only their lingering Judenhass but the fact that American hicks from the sticks aren’t the only ones who reveal inner truths about themselves when they don’t realize they are being caught on tape by a guy who wants to make them look as foolish/racist as possible.
The difference between Sacha’s Yankel character and both Borat and Bruno: Yankel doesn’t make it out alive.
