A modest charmer from South Africa, written, produced, directed, "filmed" (photographed?), and edited by Jamie Uys. A Coca-Cola bottle, chucked out of a passing airplane, lands in the midst of some Kalahari Bushmen, causing unprecedented possessiveness and dissension. The tribal leader resolves to walk to the ends of the earth to get rid of "the evil thing," and on his trek encounters white people, political terrorists, automobiles, among other things. The humor is sometimes pushed too hard, through pixilation techniques or elbow-in-the-ribs music or know-it-all narration; but amateurishness puts the brakes on pushiness. With Marius Weyers, Sandra Prinsloo, and an authentic Bushman named N!xau. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
