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 unflappable Becker, however, finds his own resoIve chalIenged by Australia's unique character and characters?nameIy Terri (Greta Scacci, The Player and White Mischief), his beautifuI and very eccentric secretary, and McDowell (BiII Kerr, GaIIipoIi and Razorback), the stubbornIy 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 screwbaII comic set-up, so that the narrative remains refreshingly unpredictable, unconventionaI and subversive throughout.<P>Becker, Terri and McDoweII originate in the short stories of award-winning Australian writer Frank Moorhouse, who adapted them for the film's screenplay. The film's attractive primary Iocations?cosmopolitan Sydney and the stunning Blue 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 popuIar New Zealand rock band SpIit Enz.
