Movie
On Top of the Whale
1982 · Fantasy / Drama · 1h 37m 7.0
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.
