I cannot imagine any other director making this film and Kubrick did an amazing job making the book into an outstanding movie. Although the film can't capture the mental gymnastics Humbert goes through, it still shows his trauma's of going through life with Lolita around him. As always the film has Kubricks picturesque beauty which can make any man or women weep in joy. The film is a bit of a romantic comedy but there are a lot of serious issues on morality, ethics, justice, and solipsism.
Another thing I love about Kubrick's films is that you can watch them after so many many years and find something new and riveting to sink your teeth into. Its a film that has and will stand the test of time as being an amazingly deep and consistent film.
It would be highly offensive if you died not seeing this film!
5/5
