Nato il 22 luglio 1927 a Parigi. Ingiustamente poco rispettato da molti critici in quanto nemico giurato della nouvelle vague e fedele al cinema dei registi classici francesi. Si diploma in cinematografia nel 1954 e gira il suo primo film nel 1961, Le petit garçon de l’ascenseur (Il ragazzino dell’ascensore) dove un tredicenne deve cominciare a lavorare in un grand hotel con ostilita’ degli adulti.

Pinocchio has obtained a brilliant degree in modern literature. In his search for a job he meets all the characters of the original story in different work environments, leading to a new series of adventures.
A parody of a hard-hitting TV investigative report focuses on a start-up and discusses a new app for mobile phones and tablets called "Pinocchio". In the third millennium Toyland's big feature is the continuous use of mobile phones and their multitudinous apps. The result is that the Pinocchio of our own time also becomes a donkey, just as he does in Collodi's story.
Pinocchio è un burattino di legno scuro, costretto a scappare dalla guerra in Siria a bordo di una nave che lo condurrà nel Paese dei Balocchi, dove incontrerà persone che lo inganneranno con le loro bugie. Dopo una serie di peripezie, e grazie all’aiuto del maestro Geppetto e dei compagni di scuola, riesce finalmente a trovare il suo posto nel mondo.

Pinuccio Lovero has always dreamed of being a gravedigger. At the age of forty he has finally been given a short term position as caretaker of the cemetery of Mariotto, a little hamlet near Bitonto, in the scorched Italian south.

A beautifully composed panoramic view of the Gulf of Naples leads to a sequence of different low-level perspectives accompanied by live sound. Beyond the walls, Amina and Amir begin a long journey; information written on the former glories of the city are accompanied by views of current degradation or words referencing modern problems. The story ends reprising the initial panoramic view at dusk, blurred by a background of persistent sounds and noises produced by the protagonists' more mature awareness of the city.
