In Cinemas: ›Universal Language‹

Somewhere between Woody Allen, Wes Anderson and Canadian modernism, we find ourselves laughing tears and discovering the beauty of cinema. Matthew Rankin's hilarious comedy tells the story of a girl's attempt to retrieve a banknote from the ice of a frozen lake, a group of travellers on a traffic island, abandoned suitcases and parked fountains. With great wit, great formal rigour and even greater intellectual freedom, he penetrates the universal language of humour. And finally, we discover the unifying power and beauty of cinema, beyond time, space and culture. Exactly what we need right now!
