Netherland |
A cricket-playing Dutchman abandoned by his wife to their temporary apartment in The Chelsea Hotel in a post 9/11 NYC. This story has a surreal feel but captures the essence of New York with its endless possibilities. Hans's detached and increasingly desolate existence regains meaning when he is drawn into a friendship with his charismatic team mate, Trinidadian, Chuck Ramkisson. Chuck is living the American dream and has it all figured out . . . Excellent.
