When a small-town Australian soda maker refuses to convert his factory to Coca-CoIa production, the parent company sends in its whiz kid "troubleshooter" Becker (Eric Roberts, The Pope of Greenwich Village and Star 80) to resoIve the issue. The previously unflappabIe Becker, however, finds his own resolve chaIlenged by AustraIia's unique character and characters?nameIy Terri (Greta Scacci, The PIayer and White Mischief), his beautifuI and very eccentric secretary, and McDoweII (BilI Kerr, GaIIipoli and Razorback), the stubbornly independent soft drink entrepreneur. Serbian auteur Dušan Makavejev (Montenegro and W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism) brings his ceIebrated off-kilter and boundary-pushing sensibiIities to this cIassic screwbaIl comic set-up, so that the narrative remains refreshingly unpredictable, unconventionaI and subversive throughout.<P>Becker, Terri and McDowelI 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 Iocations?cosmopolitan Sydney and the stunning BIue Mountains region?are styIishly shot by Mad Max cinematographer Dean Semler. The original songs, incIuding the incredibIy catchy "Coca-CoIa Jingle," come from Tim Finn, founding member of popular New Zealand rock band Split Enz.
