Lolita (1997)

"I would still go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of her face."

I saw two films today! Working through the backlog, since I've little else to do which didn't involve the spending of monies I hadn't got (I'd already gone for a walk around Howden Marsh).

The film is not as good as the book, little is. It has some searing flaws of direction but also some inspired choices. And, with such descriptive material, it doesn't make a hash of the location - though I didn't quite believe New Hampshire could look so much like Gloucestershire.
