Chopin’s Youth
(Aleksander Ford, 1952, Poland, 121 minutes)

Lolita
(Stanley Kubrick, 1962, UK/USA, 152 minutes)

Aleksander Ford gives a new ideological significance to Chopin’s life in his socialist realist biopic. Chopin’s music is used with comic irony in Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov’s novel.
