Le avventure di Pinocchio

A scrap of pine wants to be a boy. It is a terrible candidate. Old Geppetto carves a puppet. The puppet carves a hole in every plan: school, supper, staying put. Liars, foxes, and showmen are already waiting. So is hunger. So is the sea. Tell a lie and the nose gives you away. Tell the truth and you still might not get home. This is not the gentle film. Collodi wrote a wild, funny, merciless chase — and the wood is already running.
