In the commentary, director Jean-Jacques Annaud did mention ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. once and another Hammer movie PREHISTORIC WOMEN (mostly the latter though) and said he did not want to go to that direction, where basically the cave girls looked like beauty queens.

I read in this thread that they were no dialogs in this movie. This is untrue. Everything that you hear as rough grunting was actually written by no else than Anthony Burgess, the writer of A Clockwork Orange.
Anthony Burgess is a linguist and actually manage to re create and write a dialog for the actors to use. If you pay attention, you can hear the name "Naoh" being used before the three men are sent on their quest. The language spoken by the tribe of the woman is based on old Inuit language, if I remember well.
Making a comparison with the movie "the Bear" could only be limited to that it has been directed by the same artist."Quest for fire" has, without a doubt, a form of dialog but is not spoken by anybody at this time of history -

Saenos is absolutely right, there is dialogue. The word for fire sounds something like 'artro'. (Also my droogs, Anthony Burgess wrote a teenage/slang/'language' for his novel A Clockwork Orange.)
Dialogue was also contained in the gestures and body language of the humans as developed by british zoologist/ethologist Desmond Morris. -

Actually, you do not need speech to talk. Mutes can talk to each other by use of hands signs. Bees communicate with each other by dancing: http://www.livescience.com/animals/050527_bee_dance.html

Actually, I believe "Dialogue" simply means to communicate ideas or thoughts and this can be with body language, sign language and even imagery Imagery involves one or more of your five senses (hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight).. If you were able to understand what was happening in this movie, then they utilized a dialogue with each other and the audience

The word for fire sounds something like 'artro'
To me it sounded more like "HARRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr-truh"
Also, Gaw said "DUN-deroh, DUN-deroh" several times when he got excited about food. That was one of the best lines in the movie -

Cracks me up. The movie I just saw before this was "Network," where one of the top threads was "No Soundtrack." Worked well in both cases, I thought. I read a little about this movie before seeing it, and was totally expecting subtitles. Pleasantly surprised that the movie had none and needed none.

The Thief is a 1952 film noir starring Ray Milland with a plot about a nuclear physicist working in Washington DC who also spies for some unnamed foreign country. It is told entirely with out dialogue.

You should check out "Le Dernier Combat (The Last Battle)" also if you liked this. It is a post-apocalyptic style movie where people can no longer speak due to some event in the past. Since society has collapsed mankind has devolved back to its more animal state again to a degree. The lack of dialog in no way detracts from making the characters highly likable and three-dimensional. No subtitles etc.
I also loved this movie and thought it was very unique.
Cheers!
