Short description

The Manzoni family, a notorious mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy, France under the witness protection program, where fitting in soon becomes challenging as their old habits die hard.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The scene in the school cafeteria had to be reshot many times because the entire crew kept laughing due to some wardrobe malfunctions with Dianna Agron.
  • While filming the scene where Belle beats the guys with a tennis racket, the racket broke, and Dianna Agron, along with the entire crew, couldn't stop laughing.
  • The film is based on the novel 'Malavita' (2004) by Tonino Benacquista.
  • Filming took place from August to October 2012 in Normandy, Gacé, Le Sap, New York, and at the Cité du Cinéma studio.
  • At the film club, Fred was suggested to watch and discuss "Goodfellas" (1990), in which Robert De Niro also played one of the main roles.
  • The film went through several title changes: “The Blakes,” “Badfellas,” and “Malavita.”
  • The film is based on Tonino Benacquista's novel "Malavita" (2004).
  • In the film club, Fred was suggested to watch and discuss the movie "Goodfellas" (1990), in which Robert De Niro also played one of the lead roles.
  • Luc Besson addressed Dianna Agron exclusively by her character's name, "Belle," but when he called her that off-set, Dianna wouldn't respond, which Luc found very amusing.
