Following the success of OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, director Michel Hazanavicius and Jean Dujardin return with OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus, a film in which agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath is once again sent on a mission, this time to Brazil. Twelve years after his adventures in Cairo, OSS 117 must recover a microfilm crucial to the security of the French state and track down a former Nazi blackmailer. Accompanied by Dolores, played by Louise Monot, a Mossad agent as fearsome as she is seductive, he embarks on a hectic adventure that takes him from the beaches of Rio to the forests of Amazonia, passing by iconic landmarks such as the Corcovado Christ. Combining action, offbeat humor and razor-sharp dialogue, OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus wittily pokes fun at 60s spy clichés.
OSS 117 : Rio ne répond plus will be available on Netflix from November 1, 2024.
Synopsis: Twelve years after Cairo, OSS 117 is back for a new mission on the other side of the world. On the trail of a compromising microfilm for the French state, our most famous agent must team up with Mossad's most seductive lieutenant-colonel to capture a blackmailing Nazi. From the sunny beaches of Rio to the lush forests of the Amazon, from the deepest secret caves to the summit of Corcovado Christ, a new adventure begins. Whatever the danger, whatever the stakes, you can always count on Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath to pull through...
OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus is aimed at fans of spy comedies and films with an irreverent tone. With its offbeat humor and sarcasm-filled dialogue, this parodic sequel is inspired by the world of 60s spy films, and will appeal to viewers who enjoy Austin Powers-style satire. Jean Dujardin once again plays an OSS 117 as endearing as he is awkward, whose deliberately inappropriate humor plays on the clichés and old-fashioned attitudes of the era. The exotic settings and zany situations accentuate the character's absurdity, while offering a subtle critique of the mentalities of the time. However, those who are not fans of parodic humor or anachronisms may find the film's particular tone less accessible.
Released in 2009, OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus built on the success of the first opus in France and abroad. This second installment was hailed for its sharp humor and clever references to spy films. Jean Dujardin's portrayal of the pretentious, undiplomatic agent is a real eye-catcher, and the visual performances are faithful to the 60s, giving this adventure an authentic feel. The complicity between the characters and the absurd twists and turns have become signatures of this comic franchise.
OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus offers the perfect opportunity to reunite with French cinema's most offbeat spy. With its exotic adventures, satirical humor and memorable lines, this film is a classic for fans of spy comedies.
