Now, in the aftermath of the election and during massive vaccine rollouts, it seems like maestro Sacha Baron Cohen wants to take a look back at these recent tumultuous events and reflect on their implications to date.

Bakalova became a breakout star in the role of Tutar, Borat’s daughter. Through her performance, Bakalova injected surprisingly potent and much-needed heart and soul into the political romp. Subsequently, she’s gone on to receive Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Academy Award nominations for her performance. The film itself also nabbed a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination from the Academy.
“Borat Supplemental Reportings Retrieved From Floor of Stable Containing Editing Machine” will hit Amazon Prime soon. Until then, be sure to check out the trailer below.
