OSS 117, Lost in Rio
OSS 117, Rio ne répond plus

Director: Michel Hazanavicius
Actors: Jean Dujardin / Louise Monot / Antoine Lutz

TWO CÉSAR NOMINATIONS! Best Art Direction, Costume Design

The laughs are up, the tops are down and cultural sensitivity is at a record low in this send-up of super-spy Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, aka OSS 117, the foreigner-fighting, Cold War hero of the popular de Gaulleera novels by Jean Bruce. Yep, he's back for another mission.

Sent on the trail of a microfilm that could compromise the French government, OSS 117 fumbles merrily through Brazil, here a bossa-nova dreamland of bikini-clad women, perma-tanned foreign agents and pesky, gun-wielding 'Chinamen' (as he calls them). OSS 117 is in hot pursuit of a Nazi blackmailer, and in collaboration with a rather-hotherself Mossad agent. To call this Frenchman a "fish out of water" would be to assume he realizes that the pool has a border beyond the island bar.

In this follow-up to international hit "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies", cowriter- director Michel Hazanavicius delivers more international scandal, hijinks, outrageous chauvinism and self-ridicule with this audiencepleaser: a merciless skewering of 60s colonial arrogance.
