Rating: Francesco Nuti's watershed film, the one that marked everything before and everything that would come after, premature departure included. Nothing would be the same, and perhaps the step was longer than the leg, but it was certainly worth attempting and defending. There's very little to say about the film: a road movie in Yankee land, zany and quirky just enough, with a certain melancholic poetic spread, ultimately the hallmark of our filmmaker, which meshes well with the esprit maudit of a Chiara Caselli/Lucy Light (imaginative alter ego of Lucignolo), performing and very well suited to the role in which, I'm sure, both Juliette Lewis and Asia Argento would have fit equally well. For the sleazy manager of the nursing home, Victor Cabello was chosen.
A requiem, Francesco.

"OcchioPinocchio is the film that ruined Francesco Nuti, both artistically and personally."
"Pinocchio, symbol of naivety, goodness, and purity, is killed to finally make way for a man seeking freedom."
