On Top of the Whale (7.0)

Movie · 1982 · 1 h 37 min · Fantasy, Drama

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.

Directed by: Raúl Ruiz

Starring Willeke van Ammelrooy, Jean Badin, Fernando Bordeu, Herbert Curiel, Amber De Grau, Luis Mora, Ernie Navarro
