Synopsis:

DRAMA – Live Action | Fantasy:

Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful) plays Geppetto, a woodcarver who creates a puppet but then something magical happens. The puppet can talk, run and eat like any young boy. Geppetto calls him Pinocchio and raises him as his own son. But Pinocchio is easily led astray and finds it hard to always be good. So he repeatedly finds himself in trouble as he is tricked, kidnapped and chased by bandits. All the while, his guardian, the fairy tries to
convince Pinocchio that he’ll never realise his dream of becoming a real boy until he changes his ways for good. But first, he has a really big fish to deal with.

With ground breaking live action set against a backdrop of stunning Italian locations,
Pinocchio brings alive a world of true mystery and wonder. The most convincing, funny and touching live-action screen adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s
remarkable children’s tale yet. – Screen International
