\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Apr\u00e8s le cru 1962<\/a>, il semblait logique de faire du Lolita<\/em> d’Adrian Lyme mon prochain “film de style”. Malgr\u00e9 quelques faiblesses (quelques s\u00e9quences bien trop hamiltoniennes pour ne pas faire clich\u00e9, ou celles, grotesques, de la parano d’Humbert et de la mort de Quilty), il m’a davantage plu que celui de Kubrick (h\u00e9 oui!). Il a l’intelligence de situer le film dans le contexte d’origine du livre, celui de la fin des ann\u00e9es 40, o\u00f9 s’\u00e9bauche l’Am\u00e9rique rutilante des drugstores<\/em>, des Buicks et des Ice cream sodas<\/em>. Sur la route parcourant les infinis paysages am\u00e9ricains, de motel en station service, on imagine volontiers Humbert et Lolita croisant un instant Jack Kerouac.<\/p>\n

Cette \u00e9poque influence aussi le statut (et le look) de Lolita : l’adolescence n’a pas encore l’importance qu’elle prendra au tournant des ann\u00e9es 60, et l’allure de la Lolita camp\u00e9e par Dominique Swain alterne perp\u00e9tuellement entre gamine et femme fatale. Et puis, autant l’avouer : j’ai un faible pour la mode ann\u00e9es 40, et pour Jeremy Irons. La suite ici<\/a>…<\/p>\n

After the 1962 movie<\/a>, it seemed fair to write aboute the 1997 adaptation of <\/em>Lolita by Adrian Lyme. Despite a few flaws (some parts remind me too much of John Hamilton’s photography, the parano\u00efa and the murder of Quilty are not far from grotesque), I preferred this adaptation to Kubrick’s one (I disappoint myself on this one). More faithful to the novel, the movie takes place in the end of the forties, which is much more interesting in regard of Lolita’s status, since teenagehood is very different from what it is in the beginning of the sixties in the Kubrick movie. Dominique Swain’s Lolita is not exactly a teenager : her allure perpetually hesitates between simply childish and much more womanly features. And oh well : I <\/em>do have a weakness for forties fashion and prints, and for\u00a0 Jeremy Irons.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Comme de juste, le film s’ouvre apr\u00e8s le g\u00e9n\u00e9rique sur un flashback remontant aux origines de l’obsession d’Humbert pour les nymphettes : l’amour de son tout d\u00e9but d’adolescence : tr\u00e8s hamiltonien et plut\u00f4t cheesy. The film begins with a flashback explaining Humbert’s obsession with nymhets. This looks a bit like John Hamilton’s pictures and is rather cheesy, to me.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Mais au moins, on a droit \u00e0 de chouettes bloomers : broderie anglaise et rubans. Anyway, nice bloomers!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Retour aux ann\u00e9es 40 : rencontre de Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), la d\u00e9sordonn\u00e9e mais coquette m\u00e8re de Lolita. Victory rolls, \u00e9paulettes, imprim\u00e9 fleuri, d\u00e9collet\u00e9 en forme de coeur, bracelets \u00e0 breloques et p\u00e9plum : une femme de son temps. But let’s meet Mrs Haze (Melanie Griffith) : with her victory rolls, charm bracelets, shoulder pads, sweetheart necline and peplum floral dress, she looks like a vintage pattern illustration.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

D\u00e9pourvue de tout chichi, la premi\u00e8re apparition de Lolita n’en est que plus frappante. This makes Lolita’s first appearance all the more striking. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le gros plan r\u00e9v\u00e9lant l’appareil dentaire se charge de casser l’\u00e9rotisme du plan pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Braces!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Grand pyjama et bigoudis de chiffons : une enfant. Big pajamas and rag curls : a child.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robe imprim\u00e9e ajust\u00e9e et l\u00e9g\u00e8rement d\u00e9collet\u00e9e : une femme. Printed, fitted dress with a neckline : a woman.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

G\u00e9n\u00e9ration montante et g\u00e9n\u00e9ration descendante : le d\u00e9tail des boutons rouges sur le vichy bleu a quelque chose d’enfantin, qui contraste de beaucoup avec la mise impeccablement soign\u00e9e de Mrs Haze. The red buttons on the back of the gingham Dorothy dress looks very childish. On the other hand, Mrs Haze looks impeccable.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sur la balancelle : Mrs Haze et Lolita portent la m\u00eame teinte de rouge \u00e0 l\u00e8vres. Did you notice? they wear the same shade of lipstick.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pourtant, \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont Lolita gesticule au son de la musique dans son ensemble bouffant, difficile de la prendre pour une adulte! Yet, the way Lolita jumps in her puffy ensemble, it’s hard to call her an adult!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

S\u00e9quence de baignade. Cet article a plut\u00f4t pour but de rassembler des inspirations pour une garde-robe f\u00e9minine, mais Humbert est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s \u00e9l\u00e9gant. Mrs Haze semble toujours arborer la bonne panoplie. This post is rather about feminine outfits, but I realy like Humbert’s looks too. Mrs Haze looks very prim, but there’s something fussy about wearing such a pretty ensemble just to go to the river, don’t you think?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boucles \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 d\u00e9faites et visage furieux, je crois que c’est la seule s\u00e9quence o\u00f9 je la trouve v\u00e9ritablement adolescente. I think this is the only moment when I find that Lolita looks like a teenager.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tresses, ensemble de marin et soquettes : difficile de faire tenue plus enfantine. What could look more childish than a sailor playsuit with white socks?\"\"<\/a><\/em>
\n<\/a>Et pourtant : ce dos nu a quelque chose de tr\u00e8s sensuel. Yet this bare back looks rather sensual.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheveux relev\u00e9s, rouge \u00e0 l\u00e8vres et blouse brod\u00e9e ferm\u00e9e par de petits boutons recouverts : l’une de mes tenues pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es, et l’une des plus f\u00e9minines. One of my favorite outfits and one of her most feminine : a lovely hairdo, red lips and this charming embroidered blouse, with black covered buttons.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cette tenue de tennis ressemble presque \u00e0 de la lingerie. This tennis outfit looks almost like lingerie.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

En comparaison, Humbert semble d’ailleurs terriblement habill\u00e9, malgr\u00e9 une mise assez relax. C’est assez flatteur, la taille haute. High waisted trousers are pretty flattering for men, don’t you think?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rentr\u00e9e des classes et uniforme. Notez le passepoil ray\u00e9. Lolita in uniform : look : striped piping!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chassez le naturel, il revient au galop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Une autre de mes tenues pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es, \u00e0 peine visible : la robe imprim\u00e9e port\u00e9e sous un gilet brod\u00e9 _ Lolita me donnerait presque envie d’apprendre la broderie. It’s barely visible, but it’s one of my favorite outfits : the printed dress from the beginning, worn with an embroidered cardigan.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Encore un haut court et bouffant. J’aime \u00e9norm\u00e9ment le m\u00e9lange d’imprim\u00e9s entre les fleurs et les carreaux de la couverture. Yet another cropped peasant top.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ce short \u00e0 pont d\u00e9voile insolemment le nombril (le bikini, qui vient d’\u00eatre invent\u00e9 en France fait scandale pour ce m\u00eame motif). A belly button! I love these nautical shorts.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Comme dans le film de 1962, les v\u00eatements de grossesse y sont terriblement peu flatteurs. Mais si la tenue et les lunettes de Lolita l’enlaidissent incontestablement, je la trouve toujours aussi botticellienne. A not-so-attractive Lolita in maternity wear. Her glasses look dreadful, yet she still looks like Botticelli’s “russet Venus”, just like in the book. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
