Synopsis
OSS 117: LOST IN RIO is the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2008 cult spy spoof OSS 117: CAIRO, NEST OF SPIES.
Jean Dujardin returns as suave, sophisticated and utterly clueless French spy Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, France's answer to James Bond. 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 massive hit in France, OSS 117: LOST IN RIO is a ray of spy spoof sunshine in the depths of winter and is sure to charm and seduce even the most seasonally despondent.
