100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 53 – Lolita (1962)
Sue Lyon in the title role of "Lolita"
Guys, you know what they say about jailbait. You keep getting older and they stay the same age. And thus we begin a quick overview of Stanley Kubrick‘s Lolita. This movie is just smothered with illicit sin-suality. I freakin’ love Peter Sellers in this movie too.
It’d be easy to say this movie is just a story of a young girl with Daddy issues and a horny European dude that doesn’t understand/believe in the concept of “age of consent.” In the annals of Kubrick movies, I rank this one after Dr. Strangelove, 2001: Space Odyssey, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and, um, maybe it’d be easier to say that I rank it above Eyes Wide Shut my least favorite Kubrick film. But still, Kubrick’s worst is better than some directors best.
