  Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022

  ★★ Watched 23 Dec 2022

  The Disney vs Del Toro narrative dominated discourse in the lead up to this film, but I've gotta say it's not even close when it comes to which one I prefer. This version was indeed a wooden puppet, dancing to the whims of what its creator wanted it to represent, while the Disney OG was a real boy, given the freedom to be an actual story, full of life and charm.

  How on earth do you mess up a pet film???

  Cute dog and nice pro-adoption message, so one star.

  Touki Bouki 1973

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Aug 2022

  There's a place where you belong, but you don't want to be there. There's a place where you want to be, but you don't belong there. To remain in the former, you will have to sacrifice yourself. To go to the latter, you will have to sacrifice the former, which is akin to sacrificing yourself. Where do you go? What do you do? Where does your identity lie? Who are you?

  All you can do is scream a wordless cry for help. And that's precisely what Touki Bouki is.
