Directed by Hal Hartley • 1995 • United States
Starring Bill Sage, Dwight Ewell, Miho Nikaido
A sexy, unconventional story of love and loss unfolds three times in three different cities: New York, Berlin, and Tokyo. Repeating the same situations and dialogue but with subtle shifts of emphasis, FLIRT takes us from the turbulence of the U.S. to the calm of Japan. The crisis in each story is set off by the indecisiveness of the main character, the flirt, and his or her need for reassurance: should they surrender to a love that will demand patience, or explore other possibilities first?
