Additional InformationLyne (FATAL ATTRACTION) tries his hand at a more faithful adaptation of Nabokov's novel than Kubrick was allowed to attempt in 1962. In the process, Irons gives an amazing, tortured performance as Humbert Humbert, the professor who can not control his physical desires for 12 year-old Dolores Haze (Swain). Swain also turns in an exceptional performance as the title character. Controversy surrounded the production to the point where it languished, completed, on the shelf, for almost 2 years looking for an American distributor. 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.
ReviewsMovieline - ...Swain's performance as Lolita is the main reason to see this movie. She comes amazingly close to the nymphet described by Nabokov..., Rolling Stone - ...Irons give a performance of sustained wit and cogent remorse..., Sight and Sound - ...LOLITA is a comic romp, an amusing escapade...

  • Review of "Lolita"

    Both sensitive, yet distressing at the same time. A study of inherent human weakness, coloured by the past and the failure to rationalise traumatically emotional events. An excellent and deeply moving film...
