Borat 2 Deleted Scenes Would Have Made Borat's Daughter More Feminist
Jan 20 2021
While a certain demographic of the audience that loves Borat and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm might completely miss the progressive satire embedded into Sacha Baron Cohen's problematic-on-purpose Kazakhstan journalist character journeys, the breakout star of Borat 2, Maria Bakalova (Tutar, Borat's daughter), appreciated the chance to communicate these types of messages in the Amazon comedy. I was lucky enough to speak with Bakalova on a one-on-one Zoom call where we unpacked the feminist messaging in Borat 2 — and she revealed a deleted scene from the film that would've explored this angle for Tutar more explicitly.
