Review of OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) by Randell H — 08 Dec 2011
A French spoof of, well, a lot of things; but primarily James Bond and Alfred Hitchcock. The film reproduces the look and much of the style of movies of the mid-Sixties and does so masterfully. The film parodies the style but hews closely enough that it could easily be just an extreme example of an actual Sixties film.
The protagonist is cheerfully oblivious to his obliviousness in the way of Peter Sellers' Clouseau and pretty much any character played by Will Farrell but in a film with wit and intelligence beyond any mainstream film Farrell has appeared in.
