Lolita (1997) - Adrian Lyne

The critically underwhelming film version of what I can only describe as the book that made me most uncomfortable whilst reading on the bus. It was good, but it lacked both the loveable Humbert Humbert from the novel, and also the sheer shock factor that was also entailed within the novel. I am watching the Stanley Kubrick version on Thursday to compare the two, so expect a longer post soon. Jeremy Irons, however, was believable as the lead role.
