‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ is a feast for the eyes and ears
《吉列尔莫·德尔·托罗的匹诺曹》是一场视觉和听觉的盛宴
It seems so simple: the story of a carpenter who carves a boy out of wood only to see his puppet son come to life with a nose that grows when he lies. The 1883 novel by Carlo Collodi has inspired dozens of film and TV shows, none finer than Disney’s animated 1940 classic.
这个故事似乎很简单:一个木匠用木头刻了一个男孩，结果却看到他的木偶儿子活了过来，他撒谎时鼻子就会长大。这部由卡洛·科洛迪于1883年创作的小说启发了几十部电影和电视节目，没有一部比迪斯尼1940年的经典动画片更好的了。
Until now. The Oscar-winning Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro (“The Shape of Water”) has filtered Collodi’s vision through his own dark and dazzling sensibilities, so much so that this stop-motion masterpiece is titled “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.”
直到现在。奥斯卡获奖墨西哥导演吉列尔莫·德尔·托罗(《水形物语》)用自己黑暗而耀眼的情感过滤了科洛迪的视角，以至于这部定格动画杰作被命名为“吉列尔莫·德尔·托罗的《匹诺曹》”。
An ego trip? Far from it. Now in theaters and on its way to a Dec. 9 Netflix debut, this 15-year passion project is the work of a true film artist who uses an intricate animation technique in which a camera is repeatedly stopped and started, frame-by-frame, in order to give inanimate objects and figures the impression of movement.
一次自我旅行?远非如此。这部历时15年的激情之作现在正在影院上映，即将于12月9日在Netflix首播。它是一位真正的电影艺术家的作品，他使用了一种复杂的动画技术，一帧一帧地反复停止和启动摄像机，以便给无生命的物体和人物一种运动的感觉。
