Very good works, Lazz. The second even better than the first.

 

Lolita is a novel largely misunderstood. The most think at it as morbid and even pornographic.

 

Stanley Kubrick as the genius he was made by the novel a film which well shows the Nabokov's idea that between a mature man and a young "nymphette" the most fragile, defenceless and corruptible is the man. Kubrick did id heightening the humorous and grotesque sides of the novel having in Peter Sellers an extraordinary actor at one of his best performance.

 

Adrian Lyne instead has made a film that really a few is as the novel. Or better still nothing has in common with the novel. Lyne did a lascivious film ending in filthy. I was so surprised that a great actor as Jaremy Irons accepted to work in it.

 

Kubrick made a film by the novel, Lyne by the bad and wrong myth of Lolita.

 

And you, Lazz, maybe are not a genius as Kubrick but the same you have well understood Nabokov.

 

Ciao, Sandro
