I was searching this one for a long time but by visiting horror conventions here in Europe I was glad that I found it. Available on region 1 DVD from Unearthed Films, that says enough. And what a weird experience it was. The first minute you immediately know you are watching a Japanese flick. But expect to see a gory flick as Unearthed has released before. This is an arty flick with some weird parts in it. It's all a bit over the top but still it's one to see if you dig art flicks. It's all about the way it was shot, extremely close-ups in wide angel giving strange effects, the use of colours and light and the way some movements were filmed does give it that arty feeling. I was surprised by the nudity in it, there weren't those typical blurred private parts like in so many Japanese flicks. It never is gory but here and there the red stuff do flows. Maybe it clocks in a bit too long for such a feature but it's a classic over there by smashing blockbusters back then at the cinema's. Don't point your finger to me if you don't understand it all but be advised to have a strong stomach due the vomiting scene's. And no, it's not about Pinocchio's nose.

Several adjectives can be use to describe this movie: confusing, boring, bad, disgusting, gross, raw, slow.I don't know what is worse: the many pointless scenes of people: staring silently, screaming or puking its guts out, people eating is own vomit or the people that keep saying this movie is great and the visuals are wonderful, or something related with the hidden meaning of the movie.I don't like to put negative comments but this movie deserves this comment.If a movie is confusing, this isn't enough to say that this is a piece of artWe can discuss several thing of this movie, the way the scenes are presented and the theme (I'm not sure if this movie has any) but where a movies stop being art and star being just weird and confusing? For some people this limit doesn't exist.

This movie is totally confusing and really weird and what not...but...I actually like it. I think Pinocchio is an awesome android...sure, I had no clue what was going on 85% of the time, but oh well. It's suppose to be really....really weird I suppose. I think the best part of the movie is when he's trying to learn his name. But I don't like Himoko...she's just evil. Or that one part where it looks like he's melting into paint...I don't know what that was about, but...it works? I think this is a movie to see and just...be weirded out by. Okay, making a review for this being 10 lines long is really hard for this movie. In conclusion, just see the movie. It's very interesting in a creepy way. But watch out, there is some extreme nudity.

I can understand why Renee would dislike this film, since is it a very strange, artsy, and disturbing film. It isn't for everyone. If you liked Tetsuo the Iron Man, you would like this too, because they are both in the same genre, now called "Asia Extreme" or something. I gave this movie 10 stars because it is totally unique and visually diverse. Some of the things you are exposed to in the movie will shock you or disturb you. It is very colorful and extreme. There is another movie by the same director called "Rubbers Lover" which is also incredibly interesting, but isn't in color and is even more "out there" than this, so I prefer Pinocchio 964. It's actually one of my most favorite films
