Flirt

Institute History

Description

Flirt spans three continents, three languages, three races, two sexual orientations and an infinitely comic variety of misunderstandings. The film begins in New York City with the story of Bill (Bill Sage), whose girlfriend (Parker Posey) gives him an ultimatum a few hours before leaving for a trip to Paris—make a commitment or end the relationship. Flirt then proceeds to tell a variation of the same story two more times - in Berlin, where the central character is Dwight (Dwight Ewell), a young black American unable to settle down with his boyfriend, Johan, an older German art dealer; and in Tokyo, where a dance student named Miho (Miho Nikaido) is town between her teacher, Mr. Ozu (Toshizo Fujiwara) and her boyfriend, an American filmmaker.
