 Film-Forward Review: [OLIVER TWIST]
Barney Clark, too, is the ideal Oliver, with his handsomely androgynous facial features and emaciated physique.
In his bright blue eyes alone, Clark effortlessly embodies the idyllic Twist traits, carrying out a sweet and naïve portrayal of the unfortunate orphan.
Interestingly, actor Lewis Chase confides the director wanted a lot of energy and fire from his cast, which isn’t quite evident in the film’s final action-packed, yet subdued act.

Barney Clark stole the show at the Tokyo Film festival for his role as Oliver Twist in the Roman Polanski production.
PHOTO: AP Barney Clark, the 12-year-old British child-actor who played Oliver Twist, in Roman Polanski's screen-adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, stole the show, at the recent Tokyo Film Festival.
Barney stated that the last scene where Oliver says goodbye to Fagin in jail was the most difficult scene for him to enact.

 Polanski refuses to twist Dickens into tearjerker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The actors have faces straight out of a Victorian engraving, and each character's complexity is conveyed with a few brush strokes.
The foreman of the workhouse, for example, is only given two or three lines, but with only that the actor (Andy de la Tour) and Polanski tell us all we need to know about this man's hardness of heart and his remaining traces of humanity.
To Clark's credit, however, he does rise to the occasion late in the game, when Oliver visits Fagin, who is in the midst of a mental breakdown.

 Polanski brings nothing new to ‘Oliver Twist’ - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
A Holocaust survivor as a boy himself, Polanski surely had bottomless empathy with the plight of one intrepid child undaunted by the abuse and malice of a social system at best indifferent, at worst vindictive, toward its neediest youth.
Oliver, played by then 11-year-old London actor Barney Clark, is an orphan boy brought up in Britain’s heartless workhouse system that treats such cast-off innocents as expendable nuisances.
For his tenacious spirit, including the audacity to ask for more gruel for him and his half-starved brethren, Oliver is farmed out as an apprentice to an undertaker’s business, where he is so beaten and maltreated he runs off to London.

His forte was probably the fast-talking, glib pal of the lead actor in both comedies and drama, but who can forget the sneaky heels and slick villains he also portrayed.
His voice, like most character actors’, was memorable with its mellow, yet slightly raspy, tone.
He was destined to be a performer with his vaudevillian father Ed and silent film actor grandfather, Frank Keenan, on his mother’s side.

 Oliver Twist - movie reviews and information | ajc.com
But it can't survive without an Oliver, and Barney Clark, the boy actor Polanski has cast in his version of Dickens' tale, has about as much presence as a piece of chalk.
A retelling of the classic Charles Dickens tale: Orphaned at an early age, Oliver Twist is forced to live in a workhouse in 19th century London.
When he escapes the intolerable conditions of the workhouse, Oliver falls in with a gang of pickpockets masterminded by the sinister Fagin, eventually to be rescued and given the hope of a better life.

 [No title]
Over the years, many critics have found fault with the temperament of the titular character, often complaining that the child (as well as the actor playing him) is too feeble to carry an entire epic on his frail shoulders.
It is a deceptively simple role, and the young actor elected to play him, an English boy named Barney Clark, rises nicely to the challenge.
A winsome lad whose angelic countenance is forever at odds with the squalor of his surroundings, Clark is a magnet for audience empathy, and proves a worthy performer during the film’s tenser passages.

 Movie Info for Ganja and Hess on MSN Movies
The Myrthians were cursed with a thirst for human blood, and, by the time George's wife, Ganja (Marlene Clark), comes looking for him, Hess has developed a similar addiction to blood.
Actor, playwright, and novelist Bill Gunn was hired to write and direct a low-budget fl vampire movie, but instead he delivered a thoughtful, impressionistic film that uses addiction to blood as a metaphor for African-American cultural and spiritual identity (and never once uses the word "vampire").
Ganja and Hess proved too deliberately paced and self-consciously surreal for the producers, who chopped it to 83 minutes, removed Sam Waymon's superb musical score, and retitled it Blood Couple.

Ben Kingsley, left, and Barney Clark in Roman Polanski's version of the Oliver Twist tale.
Because the story structure will always be solid (Charles Dickens probably could have taught screenwriting), the result is almost a lock to be minimally acceptable, unless the villains in Deliverance or other such cretins have been hired to direct.
Young Barney Clark is attractive without being very magnetic in the rags-to-riches, then rags-to-riches-again title role.

(Correction: Because of an editing error, a photo accompanying a review of ''Oliver Twist" in last Friday's Weekend section was misidentified as the title character, played by Barney Clark.
Oliver is largely passive -- his woes and his kindness are all that make him stand out from the pack -- so the best a director can do is cast someone who won't knock over the furniture.
