Our Linguistics club screened it last spring, and I found it a delight to watch. It is definitely fictional, but valuable in that it puts language in its place as just one of many facets of endangered language speakers' lives. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""></div></div><div class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class=""><a href="http:/" id="m_-1487934259901732227LPlnk784817" target="_blank" class="">I Dream in Another Language (Sueño en Otro Idioma)</a>,</span> winner of Sundance's World Cinema Dramatic audience award (2017).</div></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><span class="">Martín (Fernando Álvarez Rebeil, THE DARKNESS, GRINGO) is a linguist on a mission to save Zikril, an indigenous language with just two remaining speakers — who happen to be locked in a decades-long feud. Journeying to a remote Mexican village, Martín tries to coax Evaristo (Eligio Meléndez) and Isauro (José Manuel Poncelis) into reconciliation, discovering in the process how a dispute over a woman has kept the stubborn men apart for 50 years. With the help of Evaristo's daughter, however, Martín finds that the true cause for the rift is far more complex. With lush photography and a heartfelt message, Ernesto Contreras' debut is an uplifting story of friendship and the enduring power of language. 2017, color, 103 min.
