OSS 117: Lost In Rio out on DVD

From 20/03/2010 to 05/05/2010 at 23:59

The hilarious sequel sees Jean Dujardin return as suave, sophisticated and utterly clueless French spy Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, France’s answer to James Bond and Austin Powers. Armed with an arsenal of weapons including classic good looks, matchless charm and unrivalled stupidity, OSS 117 is the man to call when villains need to be found, peace needs to be brokered and women seduced.

The year is 1967 and de Gaulle’s France requires OSS 117 to travel to Brazil and track down a former high-ranking Nazi, who wants to sell a microfilm of names listing French collaborators during the World War II. In Rio he joins forces with Dolores, a charming Mossad agent also on the trail of underground Nazis, but with the aim of bringing them to justice.

Together they travel across all Brazil from Rio to Brasilia and to the Iguazu Falls… will they find their man; will the microfilm be returned to France and will OSS 117 conquer his fear of heights?

A box office hit in France, this hilarious spoof on the espionage genre lambasts the notions of cultural superiority and imperialism that were so prevalent in spy films of the day.

It could have easily been a Clouseau adventure.
