Oliver Twist -- Roman Polanski directs the classic Charles Dickens' story of a young orphan boy who gets involved with a gang of pickpockets in 19th Century London.

Afraid of the Dark -- An 11-year-old boy believes that his mother has been targeted by a serial killer who preys upon the blind. The young boy becomes obsessed with his mother's blindness -- and with finding the serial killer who has eluded his policeman father.

An 11-year-old boy believes that his mother (Fanny Ardant--"Elizabeth," "8 Women") has been targeted by a serial killer who preys upon the blind. The young boy becomes obsessed with his mother's blindness--and with finding the serial killer who has eluded his policeman father (James Fox--"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Mickey Blue Eyes"). Has this boy discovered a lethal plot, or are his fears the product of a disturbed young mind with a penchant for fantasy? And if his fear truly presages the next murder, will anyone believe him in this psychological thriller?

Oliver Twist is a young orphan in Victorian England who has been sent to a workhouse. Preferring life on the streets to the treatment he's been receiving, Oliver runs away to London, where he falls in with the Artful Dodger, a youthful pickpocket.
