“An angry expatriate’s colossal middle finger to the country he once called home... makes Team America: World Police look subtle and Lars Von Trier’s Dogville look like an affectionate tribute to the Yankee spirit.”
—The A.V. Club 

“Conceivably the most anti-American movie ever made” (Jonathan Rosenbaum), William Klein’s delirious spoof of US foreign policy plays like a live-action comic strip in which a dunderheaded, red, white, and blue-clad imperialist superhero destroys everything in his path as he battles left-wing radicals and Communist baddies. Bursting with zany, Pop Art-inspired visuals, ultra-Mod costume design, and a cameo by Serge Gainsbourg (!), Mr. Freedom is at once ridiculously over-the-top and unflinchingly critical.

A typically gonzo Lenny Bruce routine satirizing The Lone Ranger was turned into this foul-mouthed animated short, which tackles racism, imperialism, and homophobia.
