	Lolita (1997 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lolita is a 1997 film directed by Adrian Lyne and was the second screen adaptation of the novel by Vladimir Nabokov.
		Critics such as James Berardinelli, however, praised the film, particularly for the performances of the two leads [1], and The New York Times critic Caryn James championed the film, though noted that it was "dully repetitious in the last 40 minutes" [2].
		The film was publicized as an attempt to be faithful to the original novel, and the events of the film do match the events of the novel quite closely.

	The DVD Journal: Lolita (1997)
		Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita is one of those literary tour-de-forces that are easily described as "unfilmable." The Russian author's brazen prose is dense and magical, and his subject is a complex, comic, heartbreaking examination of one of society's greatest taboos.
		Lolita encourages his attentions, at first simply as an experiment with her newfound sense of sexual power, and later as a helpless act of both dependence and control.
		Swain is oustanding as Lolita, a pure study of the dichotomies of adolescence.

		Indeed, in the film's prologue, he calls Lolita the "light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul." Heedless of the fact that he is destroying three lives, he plunges on recklessly, letting an infatuation develop into a taboo physical relationship.
		At 14, Lolita is clearly not fully developed emotionally or physically, and, by courting her seduction, Humbert is effectively stealing away the latter years of her adolescence.
		Lolita is not a sex film; it's about characters, relationships, and the consequences of imprudent actions.

		Lolita's sales were spurred, no doubt, by heavy-breathing readers who were disappointed to discover that the racy bits were mostly confined to the first 140 pages.
		He realises that "the hopelessly poignant thing was not Lolita's absence from my side, but the absence of her voice from that concord".
		Lolita is a study in seduction of many sorts, not least the seduction of art, which turns out to have no morality at all.

		Halfway through a fifth reading of the novel (in the summer of 1997) I found out that a film version of Lolita had been made and that it was running into all sorts of distribution troubles.
		Film presents experience head-on, while literature can only give its audience what John Barth calls “the experiencing of experience,” which is a wonderful way to sum up the obvious.
		Lolita is both manipulator and victim - one trait feeds off the other, and Swain handles the uneasy balance well.

		The 1997 remake had a greater freedom to present the novel in a light much closer to the power and disturbing nature of the Nabokov novel.
		She was only fourteen when filming this movie so her mother and a team of lawyers had to be on the set.
		Swain’s portrayal of Lolita is a mixture of innocence and sexually awakening.

	Lolita: The Book of the Film - Stephen Schiff
		Film director Adrian Lyne's version (or perversion) of Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel, Lolita (see our review), finally released in the United States in 1998 (after ignominiously first being screened on the cable network Showtime) was based on a screenplay by Stephen Schiff.
		Lyne's film is largely based on what is printed here, but does diverge from the text significantly in many details.
		Lolita was his first screeplay adaptation, but he has since penned other classics such as The Deep End of the Ocean (which, we suspect, is the only place that particular film can now be found).

	Lolita (1962)
		Lolita (1962) was Stanley Kubrick's sixth film - a brilliant, sly adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's celebrated yet controversially-infamous 1955 novel of a middle-aged man's unusual, doomed sexual passion/obsession for a precocious, seductive "nymphet" girl.
		Rather than a film of overt sexuality and prurient subject matter, its content was mostly suggestive, with numerous double entendres and metaphoric sexual situations.
		The plot of the filmed version of Lolita transposes the events in the epilogue of the novel (a bizarre death scene) to the prologue.

	Full Alert Film Review: Bounce KoGals
		But again, the film deals with a nation of men infamous for its lolita-complex (or loli-con, as it's called in Japan), and a city where the peddling of soft-porn featuring children as young as 12 is widespread.
		The film starts with her at a clinic waiting for an abortion, and ends with the girl tragically losing her left eye after being attacked by a client.
		The direction is wonderful, with the film switching seamlessly between the crowded streets of Shibuya to the seedy and claustrophobic premises where KoGals operate, and then to the serenity of the parks and temples where the girls (and the film) pause only occasionally to reflect.

		In a poll of literary critics for the New American Library Lolita was rated #4 for the entire 20th century, which is risible.
		Lolita represents to the left a point on a line, which started with Joyce, continued to Nabokov and culminated in the late 1960s when all restraints on print effectively disappeared and porno novels exploded.
		And there seems to be a feminist-led backlash against his work, with the 1997 film attracting more controversy than the 1962 version.

		One of the film's main problems is that this night world doesn't come alive; the drawing never amounts to anything more than a stylistic device, and the spying doesn't have the psychological charge of Rear Window.
		The film is highly entertaining when it spotlights the contrast between the elegant art form and the age of the kids, who are still squirmy when faced with touching the opposite sex.

		The rumor that Lolita was not good enough to be released to theaters (it showed on cable and is now getting limited big-screen showings) was a face-saving excuse invented by the various studios that passed on the film.
		Lolita, no one's idea (except Humbert's) of a pliable nymph, is wily enough to hold her own ground.
		Nabokov wrote of Lolita that he was advised by an editor to change his novel to a Gothic, with "gaunt, arid surroundings, all this set forth in short, strong, 'realistic' sentences ('He acts crazy.

	Lolita . Weekly Alibi . 11-23-98
		Although comparing books and films is like comparing apples and oranges, an examination of Nabokov's original screenplay (commissioned by MGM, dumped by Kubrick, but reprinted last year in paperback by Vintage International) reveals a wealth of humor if not outright parody.
		When Lolita is about to be shipped off to summer camp by her domineering mother (an excellent Shelly Winters in Kubrick's version, a grating Melanie Griffith in Lyne's), Nabokov's original screenplay instructs: "Humbert has come out on the landing.
		As she rises on tiptoe to kiss him, he evades her approaching lips and imprints a poetical kiss on her brow." In Lyne's version, Lolita races to Humbert and, in a lascivious slo-mo shot, leaps into his arms and wraps her legs around his body, her young buttocks quivering pertly at 48 frames per second.

		This film is perhaps reminiscent of Lynch's adaptation of Dune, where that director became fixated on making doorknobs and bedboards look exactly as described in the novel, but left out whole themes.
		Lyne's Lolita did not work as well as the other two adaptations, but it remains a fine movie, and is certainly not significantly inferior to the Kubrick version.
		The differences are neglible, though, because the Lolita character in the novel was neither a child nor a young adult.

		When I first heard that Adrian Lyne was filming "Lolita," I swore that I wouldn't cross the street to see it, much less the Atlantic.
		But when the studios' refusal to release a film prevents the public from seeing it at all, the effect is no different from censorship -- and more insidious because there's no avenue of legal recourse.
		Lyne's "Lolita" cannot be divorced from the society that produced it.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Lolita
		Adrian Lyne's previous films (9 And 1/2 Weeks, Fatal Attraction, etc) have dealt with the nature of sexual attraction and obsession, and his adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's controversial 1958 novel Lolita further explores these themes.
		Lolita is nowhere near as sexually explicit or torrid as its detractors would have us believe, but is rather a more poignant and evocative tale of a tragically doomed and illicit love affair.
		The film is visually rich, and has a beautiful, glossy, almost romantic surface that seduces the audience, despite its dubious subject matter.

	Lolita . Metro Pulse . 08-10-98
		But the actual themes of Lolita have less to do with salaciousness than with examining sexual obsession—what happens to a man caught up in his own psychological dark alleys and the damage this inflicts on his victim/lover.
		By setting the film in his present day (late '50s) America, Kubrick's Lolita posits the existence of a sexual underground at a time when such a thing was nearly unheard of.
		Her Lolita is constantly barreling forward, head down, elbows out—a young girl trying to grow up too fast; she is a picture of conflicting worldliness and immaturity.

	Movie Review - Lolita (1997) - eFilmCritic
		The film's main success is the voice-over narration of Irons, cleverly integrating Nabokov's prose in questioning the legitimacy of the relationship.
		Her see-sawing from little girl to young woman is disconcerting at times and together they convey the confusion over who they are and who they should be: stepfather and daughter or lovers.
		He piles on the symbolism: you could see the banana-eating scene a mile off and the film's tempo or lack thereof upsets the intended subtlety of the situation they're in.

		Trivia: As Dominique Swain was under age 18 when the movie was filmed, an adult body double had to be used for some of the sex scenes.
		Jeremy Irons is perfect in the role of Humbert Humbert, as is Swain's nymphet Lolita.

	Lolita (1997) Review - DVD Movie Central
		It is a distasteful subject, to be sure, and this film doesn’t try to pretend it’s anything but that…however, the point of the story is not so much about an ill-advised (and certainly illegal) erotic encounter, but about the dark side of human nature that often becomes exposed through weakness.
		There is kind of a surreal atmosphere in the relationship between Humbert (Irons) and Lolita (Swain) that evolves not only from the constant pressure of Humbert knowing what he is doing is both destructive and illegal, but mixed in is the aspect of him being her legal guardian.
		It is a film that achieves an almost sadly surreal atmosphere, and we can’t help but feel sorry for both characters as their destiny spirals more and more out of their control.

		Film history is littered with director/star pairs who turn out film after film of solid collaborations — Minnelli and Garland, Ford and Wayne, von Sternberg and Dietrich — but since the collapse of the studio system, such pairings have been fewer and farther between (at least the good ones, anyway).
		And yet, the film manages to embrace the genre and its visual and thematic characteristics to a greater degree than the average joke-a-minute yukfest.
		Lolita stars Jeremy Irons as British professor Humbert Humbert, who marries an American woman so that he may get closer to her 12-year-old daughter.

		Amazon.com: Despite its lascivious reputation, the pleasures of Lolita are as much intellectual as erogenous.
		In spite of his diabolical wit, reality proves to be more slippery than Humbert's feverish fantasies, and Lolita refuses to conform to his image of the perfect lover.

		Indeed, extensive efforts were made by various fringe political groups (who shall remain unnamed) to have the Office of Film and Literature Classification revoke its R18+ classification of the Lyne version and have the film refused classification, thereby effectively banning it.
		It is, however, ultimately an arthouse film that will likely bore those going to it seeking some form of expose of teenage sexuality.
		It is still far from pristine perfect, but given that this was an independent film to start with it is hardly surprising that we do not have the Hollywood finish.
