On Top of the Whale

7,0 /10 (13 Votes)
1982 NL 97 min

Overview

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.
