Under Ivester's direction, Coke is pouring on the investment to attain its goal of gulping 50% of the U.S. market by 2001. The plan is to make this conspicuous brand ubiquitous by putting a Coke vending machine or retail point within arm's length of every consumer. Those market-share points are going to become harder to swallow, though. Coke and Pepsi lay out about $2 billion annually in soft-drink promotion worldwide, and spent an ugly summer in a nonstop price war.

In fact, since Berlin Alexanderplatz deals as much with psychological devastation as it does with romance and criminal intrigue, it is to be expected that the protagonist should, in proper Freudian fashion, relive certain events of his life over and over again, seeking control over events otherwise relegated to the unchangeable past. Fassbinder brutally exploits the technique of flashback in scenes in which Biberkopf recalls the murder of his girlfriend. Fassbinder offers different voice-overs in each reenactment, which...
