I think this movie is absolutely overrated. First thing: the director wants to transmit grief, so he shows us a lot of characters crying, or saying grave sentences. Instead of making us identify with the characters through drama, he forces them to "say" all the time how sad and shocked they are. I find also the script extremely weak. For example, there's no motivation for the acts of the lawyer, why is he there, why is he so interested. The montage with the tale of the Pied Piper is poor and pretentious... To make it short, I've probably seen this movie in a wrong way, because most of the people liked it so much and I found it boring, pretentious and poor.

Hartley is probably one of the most strange filmmakers of our time. His movies are far from perfect, but he manages to portray human nature in a way many directors would want for themselves.

"Flirt" is a simple love story, about trying to find what our feelings really are. It's like a big question with very few answers, intriguing and with a profound sentimentalism.

Funny at first, demolishing in the end. When I saw this movie for the first time I spend the first minutes laughing: the editing is fast paced and the voice over explains one after another different concepts that apparently are barely connected. But in the end all grows into a perfectly mounted description of the economical and political aberrations of our times, all in less than 30 minutes.
