Though each of his movies so far has shown diminishing returns, Baron Cohen hasn?t lost me entirely; in fact, I?m eager to see where his career goes next. As a performer, he?s a transfixing enigma, with a monklike commitment to the repellent characters he creates (his resistance to appearing in public as himself runs deeper than just showbiz pranksterism, I think) and a near-superhuman tolerance for social opprobrium. He?s also an agile physical comedian, as he showed in a Peter Sellers-like bumbling-cop role in Hugo, and can even put over a Sondheim song, as he demonstrated in Sweeney Todd. At their best, Baron Cohen?s puerile provocations can tap into deep wells of desire, envy, and shame?the audience laughs because he does things so awful we?d never dare to try them. Now if he would just try doing something he?s never done before.
