À quoi s’attendre
The adaptation compresses Dickens into strong visual types and spaces, with Jackie Coogan’s vulnerability set against Lon Chaney’s elaborate Fagin. Its surviving form shows how silent cinema translated a familiar novel into gesture and atmosphere.
Comment aborder le film
The plot moves quickly because the novel has been condensed. Keep Oliver, the Artful Dodger, Fagin, and Bill Sikes distinct, then follow the repeated struggle over who may claim the child.

Oliver is passed between institutions and adults who speak as though possession were care. I hold on to the few moments when someone asks what safety might feel like from the child’s side.
