What they share

Both films are directed by Michel Hazanavicius, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Adventure / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lost Prince is

Michel Hazanavicius here indulges a concept that's surely occurred to every parent. A single father tells his daughter bedtime stories in which he stars as a heroic prince. When she outgrows them, both their fantastical world and his real one begin to crumble. It's a fairly literal depiction of parental obsolescence.
