Kubrick's 1962 film hardly managed to hint at the real sordidness that surely comes with such an affair at the centre of this story, and hardly touched on the inner turmoil of professor Humbert. While Kubrick was very restricted in what sort of movie he could make, which more or less decided the wry, lightly satirical tone of his movie, Lyne of course was afforded much more licence to get to the nitty gritty of the story and make it more graphic and more intense, in other words more realistic. He indeed goes for a very intense and vivid narrative, and naturally enough the satirical side, a thing which was an instrinsic part of the novel, is brushed aside completely. With such a full on depiction of their relationship it would have been very difficult to combine the two.

More attention though is given to the period feel of the book, and Lyne makes a good piece of cinema out of it, really delving into the mid 20th C Americana of old brand names and neon lights and motels and long roads and gas stations in the middle of nowhere. Again the Actress playing Lolita was a good year or two too old for the part, like Lyon was in the original, but she was a whole lot sassier, more sexual looking and a lot more provocative. Also, I got the clear sense in this film that she was the one with all the power, and Humbert was a mere fool for her, being played and played and played by her. In this movie, I ended up feeling far sorrier for Humbert than I did in the original and felt far less for the highly manipulative teenager than I did with Lyon's more sympathetic, more together and more sophisticated character.

Nabokov is a smutty and dirty writer. He wrote an outrageous book and used the outrage to make himself famous.

So goes the cartoon analysis of him and his classic work. The people who have never read Lolita, the ones prepared to judge it unclean and unhealthy, are the same whose comprehension of satire and irony is limited. Lolita, among many other things, is a burlesque of desire. Nabokov knows full well that it's not normal for a grown man to fall in love with a pimply adolescent girl in pigtails and bobby socks who chews bubble gum and reads, for intellectual stimulation, gossip magazines about Hollywood movie stars. The point of the exercise is not approval or disapproval. Lolita is not a morality tale. It's a book about passion and desire and where it can lead a person, any person. As such, it can be seen as instructive. But as literature, not as an instruction manual.

Lolita is a book for lovers, for those who have loved and been loved. It does not dance on the surface of things. Humbert's love for Lolita may not be to the taste of most people. Point taken, but so what? His love has all the elements of romantic love: infatuation, adoration, obsession, possession, exaltation. It's an honest book and Nabokov is fearless. If it was hated, it was hated for its honesty by those who are not fearless.

Professor Humbert (Jeremy Irons) is besotted. He is lovesick. Lolita is not much more than a child — maybe 14 — and children are full of childish thoughts and emotions. It isn't that Humbert doesn't understand this. What, Nabokov interestingly asks, has understanding got to do with how he feels?

Children love to play, so Humbert naturally becomes a plaything in Lolita's hands. He surrenders to this because he must, because choice for him has disappeared.

This film will be seen by people in two ways. In the way i saw the film it was the most tragic love story you could imagine, the story of a man obbsessed by a young girl, no matter what she does he adores her even though he knows it is wrong, this in the end is what drives him over the edge of sanity and normal life.
The film is very explicit and suggestive, it will cause offense to some people. But if you can understand the story froma deeper point of view it could possibly be seen as quite a masterpiece.

All to often misconcieved as being 'soft' on paedofilia, lolita is one of the few films to bring a tear to my eye. The tremendous performances of all actors involved seem to incorporate the spirit of the novel in a very tasteful way. Telling the story of a teacher who falls in love with a twelve year old who he meets out of chance and reminds him of a childhood liason, this has got to be one of the best sad films ever made. Lolita is portraid as she is in the book, a sweet and innocent girl who somehow knows exactly how to get what she wants out of men. A very enjoyable piece to view.

It is now already some time ago when I first tried to elaborate on Lyne's Lolita, but inadequacy of my own words to describe sheer beauty and depth of this film stopped me every time. It is just so unbelievably beautiful and then so sad at the end that words fall short in describing it. There are sequences in this film that are absolute masterpieces and I am positive they will remain unsurpassed by another romantic story for a long time. Probably out of puritan hipocrisy and lobbying it was not nominated for any Academy award but young Dominique Swain definitely more than deserved one. As well as beautiful Ennio Morricone's music which I still listen often, even when writing these words.
And I admittedly envy reviewer Sievert for these words: Lolita is a book for lovers, for those who have loved and been loved. It is so much true! Having loved passionately and having been loved at least once in a lifetime is a key to this film's magic.
