Broken English

Wed 8 Apr
Show what an extraordinary singer Marianne Faithfull was. And what a witty, wise survivor she was, who rose gloriously from the ruins of the sixties and seventies.
In Broken English, Marianne Faithfull looks back on her life and career shortly before her passing, through archival footage, interviews, and musical excerpts. From a young pop star in the 1960s to an adult artist constantly reinventing herself, she had to navigate fame, expectations, and personal setbacks. In the film, Faithfull reflects on her public image, her relationships, her struggles with addiction, and how these experiences shaped her work.
Broken English reveals her attempts to break free from the image imposed on her by the outside world while continuing to find her own voice. Music plays a central role, expressing both loss and reclaimed strength. It is a deeply personal portrait of an extraordinary artist.
