OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies

Jean Dujardin stars as secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a.k.a. OSS 117 who in the tradition of Inspector Clouseau succeeds in spite of himself. Hubert masquerades as the head of a poultry firm in Cairo while he investigates the death of a fellow agent, monitors the Suez Canal, checks up on the Brits and Soviets, quells a rebellion and brokers peace in the Middle East. A witty send-up of spy films, neo-colonialism, ethnocentrism and the idea of Western covert action in the Middle East.
