Buratino, Son of Pinocchio (2009)
Directed by Rasmus Merivoo
Overview
Imagine a mix of Repo Man, Oliver! and Pinocchio and you’re on the road to grasping the tone of this bizarre Estonian take on Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy’s character Buratino, a wooden boy (or boyus woodenus, as the doctors in the film refer to him). Buratino’s virginal mother wishes upon a star for a son and is immediately answered by what can only be called a rape-splinter. The woman gives birth almost immediately to her little wooden Buratino.
