In the process, Jeremy Irons gives an amazing, tortured performance as Humbert Humbert, the professor who can not control his physical desires for 12-year-old Dolores Haze (Dominique Swain). Swain also turns in an exceptional performance as the title character.

The film had a successful European run before making its American debut on the Showtime cable network, and finally, to a limited art-house run. [More]
