Last Whispers (2019)
Our linguistic diversity is fading, the dynamic force of transmission has dwindled, and dominant languages have gained even more ground. Every week one language is lost to the world. Of the 7000 languages known to experts today, half will be lost to mankind before the end of the century. Lena Herzog focused on the subject for "Last Whispers", an immersive oratorio for a high-tech audio and video installation.

Too much of everything
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
