Sometimes a movie is relatively random, I think.In the case of "Sweet Movie" and "Coca Cola" this added value.
Even for Dusan Makavejev, who made some odd movies in his time (Sweet Movie one of them, and also Innocence Unprotected), and while this one, his last theatrical effort 'Gorilla Bathes at Noon' (catchy title) isn't one of his best, it is marked by some moments that startle and confound and you have to keep watching. It's about an ex-soldier for the Red Army who isn't going back home to Russia after the Cold War ends - his train left and his wife has left him.
Amiable, almost sedate movie by Makavejev's standards. The budget is low and the plot is thin, but it works as a theatrical reflection on the disintegration of the old regime.
