Rio de Janeiro, 1967.
French secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, codename OSS 117, is on the hunt.
His mission: to retrieve a microfilm containing the names of an exiled group of Nazi collaborators who fled to South America shortly after the war.
Based on the widely popular novels by the prolific French author Jean Bruce (which predate Ian Fleming's 007), Hazanavicius's second instalment in the rejuvenated OSS 117 franchise (following 2006's CAIRO, NEST OF SPIES) is overflowing with wit and charm.
Reprising his role as the eponymous French espion extraordinaire, Dujardin (LUCKY LUKE) turns in a memorably madcap performance, paying homage to Peter Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau in this cultish satirical spy-caper.
