Lolita (1962)

Censored Adaptation is Still Fascinating

The changes Kubrick made, for the censorships at the time, have the story unable to reach the level of the novel, but the subtle nature of the character's relationship works well and there is an underlying black humor throughout the first half of the film. The second half is overlong and the conclusion loses some emotion because the finale was shown at the beginning. Though, I was so intrigued by the first half that I didn't mind the problems of the second so much.
