Master Geppetto, a poor and lonely carpenter, trades for a piece of magical, talking wood. In his skilled yet trembling hands, a wooden puppet with a long nose takes shape. Pinocchio springs to life, filling the impoverished workshop with chaos and childish laughter. Their tender, perilous journey stems from the old man's simple wish for a family. The wooden boy's path leads him to a cunning cat and fox, a sinister puppeteer, a transformation into a donkey, and sea monsters, all while his heart slowly learns to discern truth from fiction.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This adaptation of Collodi's tale sidesteps mere sweetness, preserving the original story's melancholic edge. Pinocchio is not just a mischievous puppet but a soul painfully coming into being amidst a world of temptations and betrayals.

What lingers after the screen fades is a fable about the cost of growth, where every moral failure carries a tangible, terrifying consequence. The bond between the old craftsman and his wayward wooden son feels genuinely earned. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Luigi Comencini

A workshop smelling of sawdust, dusty Italian fairground roads, the deceptive gloom of a fairy-tale forest.
