Water (1985) has this quirky charm mixed with a light-hearted adventure vibe. Dick Clement really captures the chaos of bureaucracy and greed with a satirical edge, placing it all against the beautiful backdrop of a Caribbean island. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to that oddball atmosphere. The performances, especially from the lead, have this delightful sincerity that grounds the ridiculous premise. It's interesting how practical effects are used, like the water drilling scenes, which add a certain authenticity to the film. The themes of community versus exploitation resonate throughout, making it not just a comedy but a commentary on resource management too. Overall, it’s a curious piece of '80s cinema with its own unique flavor.
