Chez Gino (2011) - film review

Gino has been living in Brussels for thirty years and he now runs a pizzeria which he bought with his wife Simone’s savings.  His life is suddenly thrown into turmoil when he learns of the death of his Italian uncle, a Mafia godfather who became insanely wealthy through his criminal activities.  Gino stands to inherit a large part of his uncle’s fortune, but to obtain it he must prove that he is the don of the Parisian pizzerias.  To that end, Gino hires a filmmaker to make a documentary which presents him as a ruthless gangland boss.  Unfortunately, things do not go as planned.  Gino’s family refuse to cooperate and the film crew become fractious when Gino gets carried away with his role playing.  Then a real Mafioso enters the fray, and things start to get a little complicated...
