An Italian mini-series (but co-produced by several European TV stations) shot in the 1970s that tells the story of Pinocchio. This is a film faithful to the novel, with actors that go far beyond the sweetened heartless and childish versions that Hollywood has been producing since the 1940s. The film/mini-series has all the elements of the best Italian Neorealism, and, in fact, the background is an unsweetened sad and poor 1860s Italy, in which, however, magic and hope are everywhere, in the poorest of the settings, in the saddest, most lonely heart. This magic and this hope carry the viewer along the harshness of Pinocchio and Geppetto's despair, separation, dramas, failure, and final success. The characters, the mood of the movie, the dresses, the music are all fabulous, superbly constructed and presented. 

DVD-R is in Italian with switchable English and Italian subtitles. Approx. 320 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
