Much more than I expected

It has been called a loose remake of Frank Capra's classic "It Happened One Night". That is misleading. This film has two plot twists from the other story, which significantly alter the original story nearly to the point of being an altogether new story. Having seen "IHoN" will not give anything of this film away. This provides a unique German interpretation of New York and of the USA in general, being that it is set in NY. - There's an opening montage with stock footage from American sporting and news events that trick photography has morph into literal front page newspaper articles. -- One interesting bit is that there is also a 'Wall of Jericho' (though it is not called such) in this film. Interestingly, the 'wall' contains cacti, which makes a certain amount of sense, being that Jericho was in a desert. -- This is the kind of film that one immediately wants to look up the director's (Paul Martin) work, and to seek it out. Wink wink...
Good quality
