OSS 117: Lost in Rio

OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) is a French spy comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michel Hazanavicius and starring Jean Dujardin as the gloriously oblivious Agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath. The sequel to the 2006 hit OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies — same hero, same spectacular blind confidence, new continent.

It's 1967 and headquarters sends the agent to Rio de Janeiro to recover a microfilm listing French Nazi collaborators. The mission goes sideways almost immediately. Mossad operatives pick up his trail, local contacts wish they hadn't met him, and the agent himself moves through every confrontation completely convinced he's doing a magnificent job. Dujardin plays the role with a straight face and pinpoint comic timing. Stream OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) online on iFILM.
