Broken English, Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth’s inventive and moving portrait of Marianne is now available to rent on BFIPLAYER.

The fictional ‘Ministry of Not Forgetting’ (led by Tilda Swinton and her trusty interviewer George MacKay) take Marianne herself on a journey into a rich and event-filled past. Images, clips and interviews are interspersed with musical responses by Beth Orton, Suki Waterhouse, Courtney Love, Warren Ellis and Nick Cave.

Triumphantly defying categorisation, Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth’s film expertly rewires the documentary genre, and is their most ambitious film to date.

NME “A triumphant celebration of an all-time great.” The Guardian “Lovingly toasts Faithfull’s fabulous, confounding career” Time Out “This meta-musical portrait hits all the right notes” The Times “Broken English had me bawling in the aisles.”
