Jul 14, 1985
Un jeune cadre dynamique américain est charge par sa compagnie de remettre de l'ordre dans la filiale australienne. C'est l'occasion pour Dusan Makavejev d'étudier les contradictions du comportement des Australiens, l'influence américaine sur ce pays. "Le film exploite l'illusion que les deux cultures sont les memes simplement parce que nous avons un langage, une television et un habillement communs. Becker, le protagoniste, s'aperçoit que ce n'est pas le cas." "En aucune façon, Coca Cola ne distribue, sponsorise ou approuve ce film."

Un cri dans la nuit

Nov 03, 1988
Inspiré d'un drame réel qui eut lieu dans l'outback australien en 1980, "Un cri dans la nuit" raconte l'histoire d'une mère accusée d'infanticide, son bébé ayant disparu, alors qu'elle campait, enlevé, d'après sa version, par un dingo, chien sauvage australien. Ce film pose surtout le problème de la presse à grand tirage du monde entier qui fait son miel de ce genre d'anecdote quelles qu'en soient les conséquences pour les protagonistes innocents ou coupables.
