I’ve just finished watching Lolita (the 1997 version, directed by Adrian Lyne). I’m not sure what to think of it yet. It was pretty. It was compelling. It was probably the sort of movie which you were supposed to read the damn book first. At any rate, I’m not sure if Nabokov would be pleased to know that every last character in the movie was contemptible, even Delores, but then again I haven’t read the book yet, so maybe that was exactly his aim. Also, that’s just my personal opinion.
