Pinocchio

Roberto Benigni brings one of the world's most famous and beloved characters to the screen with this delightful live-action adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic tale. The enchanting journey begins when the wooden puppet named Pinocchio (Benigni) comes magically to life. Then the fun takes off as - despite guidance from the beautiful Blue Fairy (Nicoletta Braschi) and the love of his father, Gepetto - Pinocchio's ever-curious spirit opens the door to one wild adventure after another! The irrepresible comic genus of writer, director and star Benigni shines through in this version of Pinocchio.

  • Critics' reviews of Pinocchio

  • 2 stars out of 5

    Despite breaking domestic budget records, Roberto Benigni's adaptation of Carlo Collodi's novel has none of the eccentric charm it might have possessed had he realised a lifetime ambition in undertaking the project with Federico Fellini. Much affection has been lavished on the costumes, music and effects, while Dante Spinotti's photography cleverly marries Tuscan landscapes and studio sets. The supporting cast similarly manages to be both pantomimic and literate. But Benigni is too old to play the puppet who comes to life and embarks on an endless misadventures, with his exuberance only exacerbating his over-eagerness to please.
