Lolita



I'd never seen Lolita before. It's about a man who pursues a relationship with a teenage girl. I ended up reading a lot about the book and how Kubrick went about adapting it. The more I pay attention to Kubrick's movies though the more impressed I am by his ability to build a narrative without moralizing. Lolita is a pretty disturbing movie in a lot of ways, but the characters are interesting and the story builds them very well. Still a real creepy movie. I should read the book. It seems like Nabokov inspired bits from a lot of fiction that I like. Oh, and here are the preliminary sketches.
