PINOCCHIO (2002) - ♦

Directed by - Roberto Benigni

Written by - Roberto Benigni, Vincenzo Cerami, Brendan Donnison (based on a novel by Carlo Collodi)

Starring - Roberto Benigni, Nicoletta Braschi

"Benigni’s follow up to the Oscar winner La Vita é Bella is a disastrously expansive flick where everything is not measured well, everything is overwhelming and sometimes even laughable. Furthermore, Benigni as the young living marionette may have semed the right kind of bizarre casting a few years before the film was produced, but in 2002 it was already too late for him to play such a part."

Adventure, Italy/USA/Germany/France
