Connections, in both directions
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Directed by Larry Charles
influenced by The Magic Christian (1969)
Plot
The idea in a nutshell is a cross between Joseph McGrath's The Magic Christian (1969) and Allen Funt's Candid Camera TV series.
If Terry Southern’s novel “The Magic Christian” were produced by the folks at the Welcome Wagon, the result might be something like “Amélie.”
The Holy Mountain (1973)
Directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky
influenced by The Magic Christian (1969)
Themes
The overall premise that the film is leading to is not but a few inches removed from Joseph McGrath’s The Magic Christian (1969), a film just as deliberately messy and scattershot in its satirical targets as The Holy Mountain.
