Oliver Twist is a 2005 film directed by Roman Polanski.
It is based on the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The screenplay is by Ronald Harwood. The plot is considerably simplified in the film, omitting Monks (Oliver's half-brother) and the Maylie family, as well as all of the far-fetched coincidences of the novel, but several scenes that have never been included in film versions of the story are faithfully re-enacted here.
The filming took place in Barrandov Studios (Prague).
It stars the actor (and Londoner) Barney Clark in the title role.
