There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“…definitely weirder and more intellectual than most mainstream comedies coming out now…”
—Ben Sachs, The Chicago Reader

Featuring an introduction (January 29 & 31) and post-screening discussion (January 29) with Andrew Bujalski

Very few could have seen this raucous but insightful comedy coming from transgressive Serbian master Dusan Makavejev. Eric Roberts is completely out of control as an Atlanta-based marketing wiz given the assignment to prop up slow Coca Cola sales in the interior of Australia. Makavejev’s former student and great admirer of his work Andrew Bujalski will join us to introduce and discuss the film. In 35mm
