OSS 117: Lost in Rio

OSS 117 Lost in Rio, in the original French OSS 117 Rio ne rpond plus literally OSS 117 Rio doesnt respond anymore, a reference to the 1930s film F.P.1 antwortet nicht is a 2009 French comedy film directed by Michel Hazanavicius. It is a parody of the spy film genre. The film follows the exploits of a French secret agent, OSS 117, in Brazil in 1967. This film is a sequel to the 2006 film OSS 117 Cairo, Nest of Spies. As with Nest of Spies, the film is inspired by the novels written by Jean Bruce, and the humor is based in part on the prejudices of de La Bath, especially his clumsiness in dealing with matters of race, religion, and gender roles.

Once in Rio, Hubert is attacked at various times by relatives of Mr. Lees gunmen, encounters a foulmouthed American Felix Leitertype CIA agent Bill Tremendous, the femme fatale Carlotta, Professor Von Zimmels luchador enforcers and eventually Mossad agents intent on bringing Professor Von Zimmel back to Israel for trial. OSS 117 teams up with Dolors Koulechov, a beautiful Israeli Army Colonel to bring Von Zimmel to Israel in the manner of Adolf Eichmann. Their lead to Von Zimmel is his son who is now a hippie.Throughout the film the main character has two main romantic interests. The first is a mysterious beauty Carlotta Reem Kherici. The second is Israeli Army officer, Dolors Koulechov, who spends most of the film exasperated at OSS 117s misogynistic, racist, colonial tendencies and has no interest in the main character, but warms up to him in the end. When asked by de La Bath why Koulechov does not like the dictatural Brazilian military government of the time, she lists its examples of totalitarianism that the puzzled de La Bath finds the same as the France of Charles de Gaulle. ........
