Description:

This adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless tale takes us back to 1837 England, where we follow the harrowing journey of young Oliver, an orphan who escapes a sweatshop only to find himself tangled in a web of deceit and crime. The film, brought to life with grand cinematography, introduces Richard Dreyfuss as Fagin, a cunning and unscrupulous leader of a gang of young pickpockets. As Oliver tries desperately to reunite with his long-lost relatives in London, he is drawn into Fagin's dangerous world. This gripping story masterfully explores themes of innocence lost, the corrupting influence of poverty, and the resilience of human spirit in the face of adversity. John Sacksteder's thoughtful adaptation breathes new life into Dickens' classic novel, inviting viewers to embark on a deeply moving and unforgettable adventure through Victorian England.
