When schoolteacher Humbert Humbert (Jeremy Irons), marries his landlady, Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), it's purely to get close to her daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain) 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 lives irrevocably. With a sumptuous score from Ennio Morricone (The Mission) and a stunning performance from Dominique Swain (Face/Off), this classic loss of innocence fable has never been so faithfully brought to the screen with every beguiling, disturbing and haunting moment intact.
