Lolita (1997) Region 1,2,3,4,5,6 Compatible DVD

Unless Frank Langella running in nothing but an open dressing gown Willy flapping about while being shot counts. It's a well made movie with a visual pallet similar to forest gump,but with the bad guy from die hard and a more believable plot,the plot exists in a bit of a bubble ,if he didn't see it it didn't happen, mostly. Roles are played well, I disliked most of the characters once I got to know them, credit to the actors. The subject of the movie demonstrates how destructive it is as a singular entity even without the pressures of external judgement. Goodness it has the second Kruger brother from the later die hard movie in it, it's not going to be a smutty snuff movie. Lampoon's vacation, RoboCop, alien , hear no evit see no evil all have token nudity , this film does not.

Quite intense, great acting by all

It's a classic, great acting.

Probably because of Play Away when I was very young He always plays the vagabond I know! I watched this film with feelings of disgust rising at the obvious enjoyment many men would experience at the prospect of abusing a young girl and convince themselves they couldn’t help it It’s soft porn and pains me to think how much we were all exposed to it in many years gone by without realising it Glossy beautiful people doing sick unforgivable things!!!

I watched this when I was younger. Looking at it now it's so messed up but I also love it

Old fashioned coming of age film,and the problems of an infatuation,

Regularly in the top 10 novels of all time. Superb writing. Will make you question whether some of the 'child abuse' we read so much about is actually 'adult abuse' by very knowing, fully sexually mature children. It is, of course, far more difficult to accept that there may beshades of grey rather than pure black in this subjet, so it will be rejected out of hand by the intellectually lazy.

I watched this film with a few of my mates and we had lots of arguments about what should have, and shouldn't have been. Good movie I would recommend to a friend.

muy buena actuación de los actores y actrices

◯リコンにつき、日本語字幕は無かったけど購入。結構原作に忠実に作られており、1940年代のクラシカルな調度品を観るのにも貴重。◯リータ役の女のコは撮影当時17才でモノホンのニンフェット世代とは若干ズレあるとはいえ、大人の男を惑わす少女の雰囲気を十分に持っておりカワイイので☆4つ。

No film can do justice to Nabokov's novel, Lyne's film can't, Kubrick's film certainly can't, and in the hands of the average reader, even the printed novel alone can't! After buying both DVD's, I searched for my old copy of "Lolita" but failed. A well-know auction site provided me with a copy annotated by Alfred Appel, Jr. (a Nabokov scholar and former Nabokov student) in collaboration with Nabokov and others. With these annotations at hand I began to appreciate Nabokov's polymathic genius. Allusions, references, foreign phrases, occult humor, red herrings, foreshadowings, and anti-Freudian insults gush from his pen (and far over the head of the unarmed reader). A picture is NOT by a long shot worth 1000 Nabokov words, but Lyne's movie (certainly a simplified version of the novel) catches the mood beautifully and wrenchingly--lyrical, funny, and sweet one minute; painful to watch the next. Morricone's background music is understated and haunting. All the characters are perfect. Jeremy Irons' Humbert is sad and touching, far more victim than dirty old man, and designed to be more sympathetic than the novel's Humbert, who journeys from weirdness to normality just in time to die. And Dominique Swain? Well, to understand her you must first understand what a nymphet is and isn't. A nymphet is not simply a beautiful, sexually precocious, underaged girl. A nymphet (term derived from Greek mythology) is a supernatural creature, a little demon with powers to charm, enchant, beguile and seduce men. As Humbert says, only mad, tortured artists can discern the nymphet among her classmates, but once she is identified, that man is doomed; a moth drawn to a bug zapper, a fly struggling against a pest strip. So how did little Dominique, fresh from middle school with zero acting experience, play the complex Lolita so perfectly? Perhaps she wasn't acting. She is spontaneous, she improvises, she is un-selfconscious, she seems to be playing herself. And by Humbert's calculation "nymphet" is a stage that for that nymphetic minority exists between the ages of 10 and 14. The nymphet then enters another stage of her life, much like one of Nabokov's beloved butterflies. Note that Lyne's "Lolita" was made when Dominique was 14 and was released 2 years after its production. And note that in Dominique's subsequent films she no longer appears the nymphet; a beautiful young woman certainly, but her supernatural powers to enchant have left her. I was convinced that Dominique was not playing a nymphet but actually WAS one until I watched the screentests, particularly the one where she meets again with Humbert at Coalmont years after they have parted. According to script Lolita again rejects Humbert and tells him she had never loved him, cooly crushing him one last time. But in the screentest, Dominique seems to break down at that point, crying real tears and burying her face in Irons' shoulder. The room is stunned and falls silent. So, no, Dominique Swain was no nymphet. She had all the powers of a nymphet, but also a soul.

interprétation parfaite de Jeremy Irons, l'histoire est bien reconstituée, film construit avec intelligence, la Lolita est crédible et la passion de Humbert Humbert tout à fait représentée

Je n'avais pas dû lire la fiche technique correctement car le dvd provient de Corée!! Donc uniquement de la VO sous-titrée. Et je n'ai même pas la certitude qu'il passe dans mon lecteur. Donc retour à l'envoyeur. Dommage car j'avais hâte de visionner ce magnifique film.
