Rather than offering up a definitive portrait of the Italian artist, Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky has crafted instead He’s all those things and yet defined by none of them. It’s telling that “Sin” doesn’t actually spend much time with Michelangelo creating, less interested as it is in what makes a great artist than in the material conditions that shape and inspire one.

Set on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the film shows three young Italian men leave their quiet town of Cenesa, in Emilia Romagna, to embark on a trip across Eastern Europe in search for adventure, lighthearted and careless; only to then clash, once in Ceausescu s Romania, with the harsh reality of a dictatorship and a people reduced to starvation.

CS Interview: Roberto Benigni on the New Reimagining of Pinocchio
ComingSoon.net had the opportunity to speak with Oscar winner Robert Benigni (
Life Is Beautiful) about his role as Geppetto in Matteo Garrone’s English-language visionary reimagining of the treasured family classic
Pinocchio, debuting on Christmas Day in a limited theatrical release from Roadside Attractions.
In the film, Geppetto, an old woodcarver’s puppet creation, Pinocchio (Federico Ielapi), magically comes to life with dreams of becoming a real boy. Easily led astray, Pinocchio tumbles from one misadventure to another as he is tricked, kidnapped, and chased by bandits through a wonderful world full of imaginative creatures – from the belly of a giant fish, to the Land Of Toys and the Field Of Miracles.
