imdb_id = 0339827Twist is a film released in
2003 and is a retelling ofCharles Dickens ' classicnovel . The plot is updated to the present day, and moved out of thepoor house and onto the streets. In addition, the tale is told not from Oliver's point of view, but rather that ofArtful Dodger --now renamed Dodge. The prosaically beautiful Oliver falls into the hands of down-and-out young men. Dodge takes the young man under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts ofdrug abuse andprostitution . As Oliver's innocence dissolves, both young men confront inner and outer demons and, strangely, it is Dodge who finds he cannot escape his past.American filmmaker
Seth Michael Donsky released the similarly conceived film "Twisted" in 1997.Cast
