Synopsis A bold documentary about the inimitable singer, songwriter, and icon Marianne Faithfull. Provocative and utterly original, Marianne has spent over six decades challenging expectations. She has released more than thirty-five albums. Broken English intimately explores her fragmented life, shaped by fame, creativity, and public scrutiny — releasing over thirty-five albums while constantly reinventing herself. Made with her full involvement, Broken English is an intimate and relentless exploration of a fragmented yet unbreakable life, shaped by fame, creativity, and relentless public scrutiny. It is the fearless final performance of Marianne Faithfull, her defiant swan song. MIDAS FILMES
