"Pinocchio" by Enzo D'Alò
[by Chiara Nano]"I resisted for a long time because I was wanted touse Italian expertese and craftsmanship, but this time I'm going to work abroad". The director Enzo D'Alò announcing his decision to go and work in France.
He is preparing a 3D project and will be shuttling backwards and forwards between Italy and France. The project is his version of Pinocchio: "I've been working with Lorenzo Mattotti (see the official site ), the artist who has already illustrated Collodi's Pinocchio (winner of the Bratislava Grand Prize in 1993) on the visual aspects of the film. Our Pinocchio is a little boy, different to the one drawn by Mazzanti and then mirrored in Benigni's style. We concentrate on his movements, almost frentic, or the fact that he is always wanting to eat something or is scared about being eaten. Mattotti does a lot of work on colours, he's almost like an impressionist painter".
Pinocchio lives in an adult world that turns out to be incapable of accepting him: "A world that doesn't allow the candour of a child", explains D'Alò.
A 3 minute teaser is already ready, all that is missing now is the producers.
