Recommended for Ages 13+  Some scenes contain rough language and violence.

A contemporary re-telling of Dickens’ Oliver Twist, made in South Africa. Orphaned boy Twist escapes to Cape Town’s streets, where he falls in with Fagin’s gang of thieves. With gritty honesty, this debut feature superbly captures the contemporary equivalents of Dickens’ seedy individuals as it shadows the timeless tale in its own inimitable style.

South Africa, 115 minutes, 2005, 35mm.
