Movie Info
Adapted from the novel by Vladimir Nabokov (previously filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962), Lolita stars Jeremy Irons as Humbert Humbert, a college literature professor. In early adolescence, Humbert fell hopelessly and tragically in love with a girl his own age, and, as he grew into adulthood, he never lost his obsession with "nymphets," teenagers who walk a fine line between being a girl and a woman. While looking for a place to live after securing a new teaching position, he meets Charlotte

...the performances hit the right notes...
Irons is excellent, but the film is a real cold shower
...any film of Lolita is bound to disappoint the few who insist on the primacy of Nabokov's novel
...while the Kubrick account is still more fun in its own eccentric way, this new one more than holds its own--a more sensual, poetic vision of the story.
The film is remarkably...disturbing. There's no other way to put it.

- Lolita: I was a daisy fresh girl and look what you've done to me.
