Lolita Stanley Kubrick Collection DVD
Stanley Kubrick's deliberately uncomfortable psychological drama examines obsession, manipulation and the damage concealed behind one man's carefully controlled account of events.
This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine appreciation for distinctive directors, complex performances and films prepared to confront difficult subjects without offering easy answers. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each title now looking for a new home where it can continue to be appreciated.
Directed by Stanley Kubrick and adapted from the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita stars James Mason as Humbert Humbert, a European academic who rents a room in the home of widow Charlotte Haze after arriving in New Hampshire.
Humbert becomes dangerously obsessed with Charlotte's teenage daughter Dolores, known as Lolita. His desire to remain close to her leads him into a pattern of deception, manipulation and control whose consequences shape the rest of the story.
Shelley Winters gives Charlotte a mixture of vulnerability and emotional intensity, while Peter Sellers brings unpredictability to the mysterious Clare Quilty. Sue Lyon portrays Dolores as a young person caught within the actions and desires of the adults surrounding her.
Kubrick approaches the material through dark satire, psychological tension and an unreliable central perspective, gradually exposing the gulf between Humbert's attempts to justify himself and the harm caused by his behaviour.
This Stanley Kubrick Collection DVD is presented in black and white and has been digitally restored and remastered.
A significant addition for collectors of Stanley Kubrick films, literary adaptations and challenging psychological cinema examining obsession, exploitation and moral self deception.
