Easter, 1966. A ceasefire is in place. A few GIs are digging trenches, playing cards, speaking in their thick Bavarian dialect and bullying one other. Produced by Rob Houwer and directed by Michael Verhoeven, the black-and-white feature O.K. transposes the Vietnam War to the Bavarian forest, letting the camera freely roll and framing the plot with alienation techniques, whereby the viewer sees the actors slipping in and out of their roles. When Eva Mattes, playing Phan Ti Mao, cycles past the cleared forest, the soldiers come up with a brutal idea. What then happens is based on an actual war crime. (Berlinale)
