關於這部電影

Stanley Kubrick directs an all-star cast in Vladimir Nabakov's screenplay of his own once-shocking, now-classic novel, Lolita. When worldly, middle-aged professor Humbert Humbert (James Mason) rents a room from widowed Charlotte Haze (Shelly Winters), he quickly becomes obsessed with her young daughter, Lolita (Sue Lyon). Humbert goes so far as to marry Charlotte to be close to her daughter, but when Charlotte discovers her husband's secret lust, the knowledge leads to her death. Now free to pursue his obsession with his willing, under-aged stepdaughter, Humbert seduces Lolita, unable to control a lust that will destroy him.

評分和評論

Due to the time period of its making, there was hardly any depth, and nothing could even be implied. If you have read the book, you will most likely be fairly disappointed. I recommend the 1997 film adaptation with jeremy irons directed by adrian lyne. Better acting, realistic, and true to the story.

This is not only one of my favorite films from Stanley Kubrick, but one of the best films of the 1960s. Fueled by its cleverness and great acting, I consider Lolita to be a classic.

How do you film a movie about Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov's Lolita? VERY sensibly and carefully. Not only was the story inappropriate for the time but it had a weak reception as a film. However; Stanley Kubrick, being the perfectionist he is, managed to make an amazing book into an even more amazing film. That, added to an oustanding cast; including the incomparable Peter Sellers; makes an outstanding film. A film about love and obsession with a touch of ironic mystery. Well worth the watch.
