Contents

Plot

Nominated for two 2003 Independent Spirit Awards, and hailed by Roger Ebert as a breakthrough for Asian American filmmakers, Charlotte Sometimes is a "mysterious and erotic" romance exploring the kinds of love for which there are no names or clear arrangements.

Michael Idemoto (Sunsets) stars as Michael, a reclusive auto mechanic captivated by an enigmatic drifter (Jacqueline Kim, 2003 Spirit Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress). Eugenia Yuan co-stars as Michael’s tenant and best friend who, despite her live-in boyfriend (Matt Westmore), may hold the key to Michael’s heart.

When the women in Michael’s life meet face to face, Michael is forced to chose between a daring tryst with an alluring stranger, and the habitual comfort of his bittersweet obsession.
