Gina Kamentsky's Pinocchio in 70MM

About This Movie

Gina Kamentsky's Pinocchio in 70MM offers a fresh take on a classic tale. The animation here is stunning, employing practical effects that really draw you into Pinocchio's world. There’s a dreamy quality to the visuals that lends an almost nostalgic atmosphere, which complements the themes of longing and identity. The pacing wanders a bit, giving it this reflective, almost contemplative feel. It’s less about the adventure and more about Pinocchio's internal journey—this desire to transcend his wooden existence. The performance captures a delicate balance between innocence and yearning. The premise of Pinocchio wanting to become a real girl is intriguing and adds layers to the story that many adaptations overlook. It’s not just about becoming real; it’s about finding one’s self.
