IMDb profile

Twist is a film released in 2003 and is a retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel. The plot is updated to the present day, and moved out of the poor house and onto the streets. In addition, the tale is told not from Oliver's point of view, but rather that of Artful 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 of drug abuse and prostitution. 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.
