Lolita, which Kubrick shot in England from a screenplay adapted by Vladimir Nabokov from his own novel, marks an important detour for him. It is not only a much smaller and more controllable production than Spartacus, but also as a sharp black comedy it is the anti-thesis of an epic Hollywood film. In this story about a middle aged professor’s destructive obsession with a teenage girl, the director masterfully employs his visual style characterized by unhurried long sequences which is what we call to mind when we say “Kubrickian”. As a control freak he gets good mileage out of improvisation when it comes to directing actors; especially Peter Sellers.
