Adrian Lyne’s 1997 adaptation of LOLITA stars Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain & Melanie Griffith.
The film was met with much controversy in Australia, not given a theatrical release until 1999. The New York Times awarded the film a ’Critic’s Pick’, declaring it “rich beyond what anyone could have expected, the film repays repeated viewings... it turns Humbert’s madness into art.“
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.
