Pinocchio

About This Movie

So, Pinocchio (2015) is quite the curious documentary. It follows Eric, a guy with a seemingly idyllic life on boats, but then you're thrust into this unsettling reality when he finds himself in a Brazilian prison awaiting deportation. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, which sort of adds to the tension, you know? There's this unpolished rawness to his story that makes you reconsider freedom and dreams. The interventions of strangers, the calls to the Embassy—everything feels very personal yet universal. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on Eric's emotional journey, and it’s hard not to feel for him. It's less about the visuals and more about the haunting atmosphere and the complexity of human experience.
