Screening: OSS 117 Rio ne Répond Plus’ by Michel Hazanavicius, Aug. 19 2013 @ Alliance Francaise Auditorium
Date: August 19, 2013
Venue: Alliance Francaise Auditorium
Time: 6 pm
Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, aka OSS 117, is the French spy considered by his superiors to be the best in the business. The year is 1967 – he’s been sent on a mission to Rio de Janeiro, to find a former high-ranking Nazi who went into exile in South America after the war. His eventful investigation takes him all across Brazil, from Rio to Brasilia and the Iguazu Falls, accompanied by a charming Mossad agent who is also looking for the Nazi. The man is charming, and so is the young woman.
Set to the strains of bossa nova, their tale is by turns an adventure and a love story. – IMDb

They had nothing and now they have more than they ever dared dream of. Harry is 18 years old and his life is changing radically, as he searches for his own dreams in this new world that he never knew existed.

Synopsis
The potential for comic mayhem: Take two adjoining hotel suites, add two couples, both on extremely nervous blind dates, contrive that they each somehow meet the wrong partner, and complicate matters with an excitable room waiter whose mission in life is to encourage romance wherever it might spark, and you have the recipe for an evening of chaotic entanglements and unlikely liaisons which constantly teeters on the edge of disaster.
