Film
On Top of the Whale
Netherlands- Director
- Raúl Ruiz
- Year
- 1982
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.
