A magical, informative and entertaining documentary of the highest order, In the Land of the Deaf brings a whole new meaning to the concept of foreign language film by exploring sign language and the lives of deaf people in France.
Nugget: on a par with Être et avoir.

Watched this again last week. Still wonderful. Will change the way you think about the deaf.
