Hilft ganz sicher gegen gute Laune und den Glauben an das Gute in der Welt. Fürchterlich.
I find Dickens's "Oliver Twist" to be one of his finest tales, as most everyone does. Therefore I find it curious that it inspired one of the blandest works I've seen from Polanski. Perhaps I need a second viewing but i found it to be fairly turgid.
This felt like a very bland adaptation of Twist and at times the soundtrack felt out of sync with the action.
A somewhat flat but correct adaptation of Dicken's classic tale. Ben Kingsley plays an amazing Fagin. Polanski shaped a lighter portrait of victorian England than David Lean did.
