A New Pinocchio (2019)


It is sort of crazy for me to imagine that Matteo Garrone directed this adaptation of Pinocchio. I love Garrone's work, but his movies have thus far been about criminals and violence. Pinocchio is pure magic. It's gorgeously shot in beautiful locations, and it's dreamily, wondrously imagined and filled with fascinating characters. This Pinocchio is also very funny at times, and always playful, charming, and surprising. I really liked this.
