Guillermo del Toro & Mark Gustafson's PINOCCHIO is not the Disney version. It's a meditation on damn near everything Del Toro's been talking about for decades: the virtues of disobedience in a corrupt society, the all-consuming, ceaseless effects of violence, the cyclical forging of sons through their fathers and fathers through their sons, the celebration of misfits and their unique perspectives on the world and the systems that control them. Plus, it's done in painstakingly detailed stop-motion? Like took-more-than-two-and-a-half-years-to-shoot-detail. It's fuckin' magnificent.
