...river and find survival in the wilderness to be more than they can handle. As the self-confident superjock who leads the expedition, Burt Reynolds actually gets to act--something he hasn't done since. Jon Voight and Ned Beatty are also excellent.

In The Poor Mouth (1941) a long tale written in the old language, O'Brien shows a linguist from Dublin religiously transcribing the grunts of a western Irish pig. Flann even joked about the impulse that led him to learn his native tongue: "Having nothing to say, I thought at the time that it was important to revive a distant language in which absolutely nothing could be said."
