On Top of the Whale (1982)

7 | Feb 04, 1982 (NL) | Fantasy | 01:37

A parody of anthropology, linguistics, and cultural imperialism. The film follows an unlikely team of linguists into the wilds of an ersatz Patagonia to study the last speakers of a dying language. That language apparently consists of a single word, which therefore means everything.
