I'm still so glad Garrone put in this montage with the fairy and Pinocchio simply playing as kids. It really sells you their friendship, and how they could start considering each other siblings.

Especially because it gets brought up again later on in the movie

I don't love every directing decision in this movie but there are so many cool elements in it.

'Pinocchio' is another dark fairy tale

Matteo Garrone won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his 2008 gangster drama "Gomorrah" and has received similar acclaim for his black comedy "Reality," about a would-be "Big Brother" contestant and "Dogman," about a dog sitter who supplements his income by peddling cocaine.
