Lolita (1962)

Second viewing; first viewing with the original audio; previously viewed on September 20, 1994.

A middle-aged professor falls in love with his landlady's teenage daughter.

I found this terrible on my first viewing, but perhaps I was too easily bored then. Character Quilty provides some funny bits, but he is obviously not a realistic character, and that seems a little at odds with the rest of the movie. The film has some brilliant sequences, but its big problem is that its plotline is not terribly interesting.

Rating: 50 (up from 30)
