Review of Lolita

Lolita (1997)
10/10
Ignore description on IMDb
9 October 2016
"A man marries his landlady so he can take advantage of her daughter." - The worst description of this movie possible, lie that gives a completely wrong picture of what you can expect to see in this film.

Disturbed, but at the same time very romantic and sad love/life story, much much better than the original novel by Nabokov. One of my favorite movies of all time.

10/10

"She was Lo, plain Lo in the morning, standing 4'10 in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. In my arms, she was always Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul, Lolita."

"I was a daisy-fresh girl and look what you've done to me. I should call the police and tell them that you raped me, you dirty old man."

"Despite all the danger and hopelessness of it all, I was in paradise, paradise whose skies were the color of hell flames, but a paradise still."
