Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio" is a beautiful tour de force. Here the Mexican auteur reimagines the old tale, keeping its Italian setting but building his own world, thanks in part to the film's lush and distinctive stop-motion animation. "Pinocchio" is entirely del Toro's, bringing sweetness to the dark and monstrous aesthetic of the "Pan's Labyrinth" creator. The film follows Pinocchio to the underworld and imagines an afterlife that feels as at home here as it would in his 2017 Oscar-winner "The Shape of Water." Similar to that film, "Pinocchio" uses its otherworldly quality to explore aspects of the human experience that can feel difficult to approach when considered head-on. Here, the focus is on fathers and sons and how the pressures of masculinity can make it particularly important and fraught.
Del Toro begins "Pinocchio" with a long exposition of Geppetto's past. In it, we learn the toy maker had a...
