Water (VHS, Paramount) – 1985 – Comedy / Satire / Political Spoof

Water is a satirical comedy set on the fictional Caribbean island of Cascara, where a quiet British colony is suddenly thrust into international attention after a valuable natural resource is discovered. As outside governments, corporations, and opportunists arrive, the island becomes the center of competing interests, shifting negotiations, and increasingly absurd political maneuvering. The story plays out through a mix of local resistance and outsider interference, building a comedic critique of colonialism, bureaucracy, and global greed.

Starring Michael Caine, the film uses humor and ensemble interactions to explore how power dynamics shift when multiple parties attempt to control a newly important region. The tone blends light comedy with satire, highlighting the chaos that ensues when politics, economics, and opportunism collide in a small, isolated setting.

This Paramount VHS release presents the film in its home video format, making it a collectible title for fans of 1980s comedies, political satire, and Michael Caine’s filmography.
