Quest for Fire (1981)

Anthony Burgess invented the Proto-Indo-European language spoken by the Neanderthal tribe that figures in the 1981 classic Quest for Fire. The production is cinematic genius, but I was pleased to be able to follow all the dialog in an invented language, from the opening scenes where a child gestures, saying, "Doh menye" ("Give me"). Four stars.
