In this 2002 adaptation, Roberto Benigni takes on the dual role of director and star, bringing to life the classic tale of a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. The film follows the whimsical and often perilous adventures of the titular character as he navigates a world filled with both wonder and danger. Despite its ambitious production and Benigni’s heartfelt performance, the movie received mixed reviews and did not garner any major awards. Notably, the film features a vibrant visual style and a score by renowned composer Nicola Piovani. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
