Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

Summary

In Fascist-era Italy, grieving woodcarver Geppetto carves a wooden boy from a pine tree planted over his late son's grave, and a wood sprite brings the puppet Pinocchio to life. Guided by a writerly cricket, the disobedient Pinocchio strays from home into a traveling carnival and a militaristic youth camp as he learns about love, loss, and what it means to be a son.
