Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Hal Hartley's films have long featured nuanced speech patterns; his characters often seem to be speaking in spite of each other rather than at or to one another. It's a stylised approach to film making that suits the quirky director and his committed, underground cadre of fans; in Flirt, he takes it to another level. Here, the same story unfolds three different times: a shifty lover tries to decide which partner to stay with, and ends up with a gunshot to the face. Shifting between locations, languages and sexual preferences--but keeping the dialogue more or less static--Hartley's film makes for an interesting experiment, but of interest to whom? Fans will appreciate the final sequence most, which features the director in a rare on-screen role. --Randy Silver

Product Description

Independent American film-maker Hal Hartley directs this collage of tales spanning three continents and one basic story. In New York, flirtatious Bill is given a 90 minute ultimatum to make a commitment to his girlfriend or end the relationship; Dwight is a young gay man too detached to give commitments to anything but the superficial artworld in which he hangs out; and Miho is a Japanese dancer who is so busy avoiding ex-partners that her long-term relationship with Hal heads for trouble.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for the fans 3 Sep 2002

By Ed Velvet

Format:VHS Tape

Admittedly Hal Hartley is at his most experimental and self-indulging here but the film is still an absolute joy in his typical deadpan and drole look at personalities and relationships. Not one for you if you only like mainstream films but if you like the style and humour in Amateur and The Unbelievable Truth then this takes it one level further. The director describes the film as "light" which is just as it should be taken for maximum enjoyment - a playful look at the same story played out three different ways, for fun. In fact it's exactly as the title suggests - a flirt with storytelling. This is my favourite Hal Hartley film just because it's so unique.

4.0 out of 5 stars Art House 3 Sep 2009

By acidjoejoe

Format:DVD

This is what I would call an art house movie, it's slow paced and you have to think a lot about what's going on. It's not my favourite HH movie, but it's pretty good none the less.

3.0 out of 5 stars good and bad and good and bad and good and bad (no, really) 15 Mar 2000

By A Customer

Format:VHS Tape

In Flirt, different characters (male/straight, male/gay, female/straight but cheating on the director) follow the same story, with the same dialogue, to different conclusions -- though all get shot in the face. Interesting, but tedious, as even Hartley acknowledges in a brief, weird Greek Chorus moment.
