In 1955, in the Egyptian capital Cairo, the descendants of a fallen pharaoh family wish to reclaim their throne while a secret religious organization, K, seeks to manipulate the government. The French president has also sent agent 117 into the mix, leading to a series of absurd and outrageous events. There is Bond 007 in Britain and agent 117 in France, who actually first appeared on screen in 1949, four years before the first Bond film. However, this 117's strength lies in comedy rather than gunfights and special weapons. The overall tone of the film is lighthearted and humorous, distinctly French. The male lead's language, expressions, and actions all embody the 1950s and are quite amusing, complete with slicked-back hair! Of course, there are female spies as well; while they may not have the sultry figures of Bond girls, their every word and action exudes elegance and wit. If you're feeling a bit tired of the always victorious Bond and his ladies, let's experience a touch of French self-deprecation together. Director's Introduction: A French director, actor, and screenwriter, he appeared in the 2001 film "Everyone Loves My Wife" and was the screenwriter for the 2004 film "The Dalton Brothers." He directed "Mes amis" in 1999. Behind-the-Scenes: The Tokyo Film Festival awarded the highest prize, the Golden Camel Award, to the French comedy film "OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies" (OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies), along with a $100,000 prize. The film stars French comedy star Jean Dujardin. Its win was widely regarded as one of the surprises of the festival, a sentiment echoed by director Michel Hazanavicius, who stated at a press conference, "It is extremely rare for a comedy to win any award, let alone the highest award at a film festival. I am truly, truly honored." This spy film blends French satire with deliberate wit, showcasing the spirit of French comedy once again. The OSS spy series, which was popular in the 50s and 60s, still has a loyal fanbase today. The new installment features French film star Jean Dujardin, known for works like "The Transporter" and "The Ross Family," playing the spy. The film received critical acclaim upon its release in France and revitalized the struggling French film industry. While OOS spies share some similarities with 007, the latter benefits from advanced technology; in contrast, OSS 117 relies on equipment he has secretly developed himself.
