Lolita (1997) DVD

From Adrian Lyne, the director of '9 And A Half Weeks' and 'Fatal Attraction', comes this powerful, provocative and profoundly moving adaptation of a twentieth century literary masterpiece. When schoolteacher Hubert marries his landlady, Charlotte Haze, it's purely to get close to her daughter Lolita, who reminds him of the childhood sweetheart he lost in tragic circumstances. But Humbert's forbidden love becomes an obsession that threatens to engulf them both and change their live irrevocably. With a sumptuous score from Ennio Morricone ('The Mission') and a stunning center performance from Dominique Swain ('Face/Off'), this classic loss of innocence has never before been so faithfully brought to the screen with every beguiling, disturbing and haunting moment intact.
