Undoubtedly, the phrase "Lolita" is one which evokes a specific type of
imagery in one's mind. Unfortunately, the film does little to encourage
these adolescent thoughts. The film centers on a fairly unlikeable
character who attempts to bed a younger girl. Throughout the film, its
uncertain whether he does so and he spends much of the film in despair
about it. To put it kindly, its not exactly compelling viewing..
Most of the sets, acting, music and camera angles practically punch you
in the face, reminding you, you're watching a sixties movie and it will
continue to "date" before your eyes.
