ANGELIKA’S NOTE

The sequel from director Michel Hazanavicius (THE ARTIST, GODARD MON AMOUR) brings audiences another round of sly, politically incorrect humor, bringing another absurdist take on the 1960s spy film. Led by a strong performance from Jean Dujardin in his return to the role as a French secret agent, this "classic comic creation" (Vogue) follows its lead on a mission to Brazil to retrieve a list of his countrymen who collaborated with the Nazis.

SYNOPSIS

The pride of French intelligence, Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath – code named OSS 117 – has a new mission that takes him to the Bossa Nova Brazil of the 1960’s. Teaming up with a sexy Mossad agent he has to capture a Nazi blackmailer with an embarrassingly long list of World War II French collaborators.
