Guillermo del Toro’s love for misunderstood creatures shines in the filmmaker's take on Pinocchio, writes Stephanie Zacharek (szacharek)
introduces us to a particularly unruly soul made of wood. When this Pinocchio bounds to life, bouncing off Gepetto’s worktable after a woodland fairy performs a not-fully thought-out spell, he’s an agent of chaos, stumbling around on his stiltlike legs, ablaze with wonder at the newness of everything around him.
It doesn’t work out that way, at least for a while. The local Podestá , already a fascist flunkie, catches wind of this dangerously autonomous puppet and warns Gepetto that he’d better keep this little faux boy in line. Of course, that’s impossible. Instead of going to school, Pinocchio runs off with the evil showman Count Volpe and his seemingly sinister monkey assistant Spazzatura , a hunched mischief-maker with red-rimmed eyes and a disgruntled pout.
