Amateur and Flirt: Two Screenplays Hal Hartley First Elboro edition

Amateur is the unsettling story of a poor young woman who, recently released from her vows as a Catholic nun, tries to earn a living writing pornography. She meets and assists a helpless and kind man with amnesia who is gradually revealed to be a sadistic, murderous pornographer himself, though he cannot remember any of this. In Flirt three young people of different genders, race, sexual orientation, and in different cultures, face the same dilemma: trying to decide to commit to their lover or to continue exploring possible affairs with others.
