Oekanda

Oekanda (2005)★ 5.8/10

BE · 35 min · January 7, 2005

  • Comedy

Directed by: David Ottenburgh, Raf Verbeemen

This Flemish comical format has a title which in Dutch differs only one (phonetically close) consonant from the African country-name Uganda (actually totally irrelevant), but in dialect can be read -broken down in three words- to mean 'How is that possible?'. It has no permanent cast, rather a pool of actors (sometimes in recurring, often anonymous parts and/or as stock characters), nor a continuous script. It consists of a quick succession of short, often not or only loosely related sketches, the humor of which often has an absurdist streak.
