It’s legitimately pretty funny that the marketing for Del Toro’s Pinocchio hides that the whole movie is a political satire about fascist Italy. Netflix is selling Del Toro’s auteurism, but is terrified you might find out the “anti-fascist fairy tale” guy made another anti-fascist fairy tale, lol.
Like there’s a couple fluff pieces about how Del Toro spent 20 years fighting to get this made, and none of them elaborate that it’s because no studios wanted to get political with a kids movie. We love praising “passion projects” but hate when artists have actual values behind them.
