Nick Cave

[David Morris]

Well, consider the two screen adaptations of *Lolita:  * Stanley Kubrick
1962 version and the1997 version written by Stephen Schiff.  They are vastly
different from each other, and both are good.  The first was mostly comedy
and the second was mostly dark.  Nabokov's book is both (as is nearly all
his writing).  I'm glad to have both versions on film as counterpoints to
each other and the book.
