Lolita (Imprint Collection #162)

Respectable schoolteacher Humbert Hubert (Jeremy Irons) marries his landlady Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith) so that he can get closer to her young daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain), with whom he is madly in love. His unfulfilled desire for the girl brings him to the edge of insanity and threatens to destroy the object of his obsession.

Fatal Attraction director Adrian Lyne courts controversy again with this adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's infa­mous novel.

Critic Reviews:

• " Dominique Swain as Lolita is appropriately sulky and gawky, and she has a sudden, delayed smile which lights up the whole film whenever it appears. " – Michael Wood (The New York Review of Books)

• " Lyne's update on this comic, bittersweet tale benefits mightily from a clever screenplay by Stephen Schiff and terrific performances by the movie's two leads. " – Ed Kelleher (Film Journal International)

• " …the performances hit the right notes… " – David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
