Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 LOLITA plays three times this week in the revival time slots:
Saturday July 4 11:30 AM (please note the earlier-than-normal showtime); Monday, July 6 7 PM; Thursday, July 9 9PM.
Wild, marvellously enjoyable comedy, adapted from Nabokov's novel. James Mason is the lover of little girls, the smiling, obsequious, phony Humbert Humbert; Shelley Winters is Charlotte Haze, the culture vulture rampant; Sue Lyon is her sexy daughter, Lolita; and Peter Sellers (at his most inspired) is Quilty, Humbert Humbert's walking paranoia....
LOLITA is black slapstick and at times it’s so far out that you gasp as you laugh. An inspired Peter Sellers creates a new comic pattern--a crazy quilt of psychological, sociological commentary so “hip” it’s surrealist. (Pauline Kael)
