Enter the Odd World of Universal Language


Watch the trailer debut for this acclaimed Canadian comedy from director Matthew Rankin.

Now, that film, Universal Language, has a trailer, debuting here, and it’s just as odd and mysterious as the movie itself, which will be theatrically released early next year from Oscilloscope Pictures.

The different stories ultimately connect in surprising ways … Everything feels like it belongs with the otherworldly, twilight atmosphere of the film, one that slips gently from playful, fablelike simplicity to pointed, expressive melancholy.
