...fathers were once concerned that Pinocchio encouraged rebellion, where the current concern is that the story seems to reward obedience." Collodi's original conception still speaks to modern souls, says co-screenwriter Vincenzo Cerami, because "he's innocent, full of life, existing in an infantile Eden, looking for what Freud called the pleasure principle. He has to accept the principle of reality that includes death and a sense of duty."

After much pressure, Wu allows a glimpse of his factory's musty purification room, where six Chinese women of varying ages slap translucent disinfectant on a pile of swirl-shaped green dildos, rapidly passing them down the line like volunteer fire fighters. Wu fades to the back and begins inspecting a box of pink toys, examining the motors and picking minute imperfections off the skin. With sex toys, quality is job one. "The market will be mature," says Wu, "when Chinese people think...
