Humbert Humbert, a British professor coming to the US to teach, rents a room in Charlotte Haze's house, but only after he sees her 14-year-old daughter, Dolores (Lolita), to whom he is immediately attracted. Though he hates the mother, he marries her as this is the only way to be close to the girl, who will prove to be too mature for her age.
"In the end, 'Lolita' is a tragic morality tale and a poignant character study (...) Lyne's film echoes Nabokov's transforming vision: it turns Humbert's madness into art."
Caryn James: The New York Times

"It is a dizzying, morally dangerous work – and an extraordinary entertainment"
David Denby: New York Magazine
