Just saw “The Coca-Cola Kid”, directed by Dusan Makavejev. I’m hoping this is the last movie we watch from this director just because my fiance took a class from him.
The movie is about a corporate exec sent to Australia to boost Coke sales. Dusan is still playing with his themes about the evils of western corporate imperialism, and there are some humorous touches, but Dusan’s great sensual eye and Greta Scacchi’s playful sexiness are just completely lost because Eric Robert is such a dud as the main character. He can play the corporate a**hole part, but can’t handle his character’s development at all.
