Chez Gino

2011 · 100 min Comedy
4.4 / 10 · TMDB

Gino Roma holds a pizzeria for thirty years in Brussels, purchased with money from his wife Simone. His quiet life is turned upside down when he learns of the imminent death of his uncle, godfather of the Mafia, Italian billionaire with a promised big inheritance. Gino must prove to his uncle that he is a formidable godfather reigning on Brussels pizzerias, ordering a director, a documentary to present it as a major mobster. Nothing happens quite as planned: Gino family does not quite agree and the crew is not "open" to Gino orders, taking his new role very seriously, especially as the comedy soon attracts the malevolent eye of a true thug.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the gap between mundane reality and gangster aspirations, relying on the absurdity of Gino's attempts to fabricate a formidable persona. It explores themes of family and self-worth through a farcical lens.

What lingers after the credits is the warmth of a story about an ordinary man's ridiculous, yet heartfelt, quest for legacy, leading to a series of chaotic and endearing misadventures. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Samuel Benchetrit
