LOLITA : Stanley Kubrick

A movie based on the 1955 novel by Vladimir Nabokov. It is a peek into the lives of people, people like us with longings, fears, love, anxiety and deceit -deliberate or accidental. The director seems to have fixed a window for the audience that just followed the characters through their everyday lives. The performances are very natural without any hint of exaggeration at all, which could have been one possible style of narration given the controversial story.
Sue Lyon as Lolita was bewitchingly beautiful and came out with a tremendous performance in her first film.
