Maria Bakalova's rise to fame in Hollywood is as unexpected as it is refreshing, and her latest movie The Honeymoon is proof that the comedic chops everyone fell in love with during Borat Subsequent Moviefilm are still intact.

It's something that makes me really excited, happy, proud, and smiley.First of all, I was filming Bodies Bodies Bodies with A24 at the time when the script came to me.

By the age of 14, I fell in love completely with Danish and Scandinavian cinema like Dogme 95, and very dark dramas or deep psychological thrillers.Then Sacha came into my life with Borat, and I fell in love with the power of comedy. You can say so many things through the power of comedy, and I was extremely excited to explore more of that.
