Ginostra (2002)
If you’re looking for an indie, European drama with American actors in the lead, with a hint of violence and a mafia plotline, you’ll probably love Ginostra. You probably also loved The Godfather series. I watched it for Andie MacDowell, and while parts of it were interesting, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I might have had I adored The Godfather.
Harvey Keitel stars as an FBI investigator who has to travel to a remote Italian island to interview a young boy, Mattia De Martino, in a form of witness protection, about his father’s death. His father was involved with a mafia war, and he’s very reluctant to talk about it. He’s so reluctant, there’s very little dialogue in this movie. The entire film is confusing, told out of order and with enough artistic flair to distract the audience from the fact that they’re not being fed coherent information. If you care enough, you’ll probably going to have to watch this twice to figure out what’s going on. If you don’t care, you’ll just chalk it up to a very weird flick and rent something else the next time around.
