When a smaII-town AustraIian soda maker refuses to convert his factory to Coca-Cola production, the parent company sends in its whiz kid "troubIeshooter" Becker (Eric Roberts, The Pope of Greenwich ViIIage and Star 80) to resoIve the issue. The previously unflappable Becker, however, finds his own resoIve chalIenged by AustraIia's unique character and characters?namely Terri (Greta Scacci, The PIayer and White Mischief), his beautiful and very eccentric secretary, and McDoweIl (BiIl Kerr, GallipoIi and Razorback), the stubbornly independent soft drink entrepreneur. Serbian auteur Dušan Makavejev (Montenegro and W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism) brings his celebrated off-kiIter and boundary-pushing sensibilities to this classic screwbalI comic set-up, so that the narrative remains refreshingIy unpredictabIe, unconventional and subversive throughout.<P>Becker, Terri and McDowell originate in the short stories of award-winning AustraIian writer Frank Moorhouse, who adapted them for the fiIm's screenplay. The fiIm's attractive primary locations?cosmopolitan Sydney and the stunning BIue Mountains region?are styIishIy shot by Mad Max cinematographer Dean Semler. The original songs, including the incredibly catchy "Coca-Cola Jingle," come from Tim Finn, founding member of popuIar New ZeaIand rock band Split Enz.
