• Criticism.Garrone wonder with a murky, baroque, heterodox and brutal Pinocchio

They say that Carlo Collodi conceived Pinocchio as a story for adults. However, he ended up publishing it for the first time in a children's magazine. And in that contradiction, neither human nor doll, lives since then. Matteo Garrone, director, and Roberto Benigni, Geppetto, are aware of this. And else. His film refutes the Disney version that has just turned 80 and much of the endless readings for a cinema with too much fear of fear caused by fear.

Benigni himself was the protagonist in his own Pinocchio of 2000. This new version would be on the side of all those who were just born. For fear maybe. Those of Fellini, Coppola or Guillermo del Toro. They all tried and in the confusion and contradiction of the character gave up. This time, don't doubt it, Pinocchio hurts. Its creators prepare for the official presentation that will be a few hours after the interview and gather reasons to be fooled by the great liar. "The lie in art," says Benigni, "is the path of truth."
