Operation Portugal It tells the story of 35-year-old Hakim, a friendly neighborhood policeman of Moroccan origin, who must infiltrate Portuguese society for investigative purposes. But can you become Portuguese in three days? Especially when we know that when Hakeem intervenes, whose costume is clearly too big for him, there is a disaster that turns many of his initiatives into cataclysms. Living alone between his feelings and his mission, Hakeem quickly discovers a community, but also a family.
Generous and attractive, comedy Operation Portugal Born of spirit D’JalTherefore, he wanted to find in the cinema the character that he played many times on the stage. “His head is a mess, a thousand ideas per second”– says director Frank Cimieri. “He took this Portuguese character and came up with the idea of casting him as an undercover cop. It fit him like a glove. My role from the beginning was to organize all his ideas and structure them to tell. A story with characters we believe in.”
“Rabbi Jacob”, “Goat” and “Mary at any cost” as references
Inspirations Frank Cimier for that Operation Portugal Many and varied: Rabbi Jacob’s adventure for “Hakim’s posture and characterization”The Goat for couple dynamics and My name is Nobody for “Comedy moments without dialogue.” As for D’JalHe cites Mary as the main reference. “Character Ben Stiller He gets into a spiral, from which he tries to escape with the best will in the world.” the actor-comedian notes. “He’s standing in his boots, but he’s completely resigned to his fate, which makes for great comic situations.”
With 450,000 entries into the hexagonal rooms, Operation PortugalReleased in a difficult post-retention period for theater attendance, it was a fairly minor success. So much so that the sequel, Operation Portugal 2: Fortress, saw the light of day almost three years later.
