With a screenplay penned by the author himself, Stanley Kubrick brings Vladimir Nabokov's controversial tale of forbidden love to the screen. “Hum” Humbert (James Mason) is a professor who relocates to an American suburb, renting a room from lonely widow Charlotte Haze (Shelley Winters). Humbert marries Charlotte, but only to nurture his obsession with her teenage daughter, Lolita. Kubrick’s signature dark humor and striking visuals serve as a backdrop for the disturbing and captivating exploration of forbidden desire spiraling into darkness. (UK/USA, 1962, 152 mins, English | Dir. Stanley Kubrick)
