Lolita

Director Adrian Lyne
Genres Drama
Run time 132 mins Certificate 18

5th March 2010

I chose this film as I've always been a fan of Jeremy Irons and I thought I had chosen well. However, whilst the narration tries to justify the actions of the main character I could not help but find it somewhat disturbing. Afterall Jeremy Irons' character is a man in his mid-late forties and 'Lolita' a girl supposedly around 15yrs (although looks closer to 11-12yrs) and they have this sexual attraction despite him being a father figure in her life. Although there is nothing sexually explicit (in that I saw) several scenes made me feel so uncomfortable I had to look away or fast-forward through to the next scene. One particular scene where both characters are in a car 'french kissing' was the final straw and I had to switch off !! I had high hopes for this film as I said and not only did it leave me feeling disappointed but also, I hate to say it but disturbed!!
