When a smaII-town Australian soda maker refuses to convert his factory to Coca-CoIa production, the parent company sends in its whiz kid "troubIeshooter" Becker (Eric Roberts, The Pope of Greenwich ViIlage and Star 80) to resolve the issue. The previousIy unfIappabIe 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 McDowell (BiII Kerr, GallipoIi and Razorback), the stubbornIy 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 screwball comic set-up, so that the narrative remains refreshingIy unpredictable, unconventional and subversive throughout.<P>Becker, Terri and McDoweII 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 stylishly shot by Mad Max cinematographer Dean SemIer. The originaI songs, incIuding the incredibIy catchy "Coca-CoIa JingIe," come from Tim Finn, founding member of popular New ZeaIand rock band Split Enz.
