From Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard — the BAFTA nominated directors of the Sundance award winning 20,000 Days on Earth — comes Broken English, a bold documentary portrait of the inimitable singer, songwriter and icon: Marianne Faithfull.

 A survivor, provocateur, and true original, Marianne has spent more than six decades defying expectations — releasing over 35 albums while constantly reinventing herself.  

Made with her full involvement, Broken English is an intimate and unflinching exploration of a fractured yet unbreakable life shaped by fame, creativity and relentless public scrutiny. 

The film unfolds within The Ministry of Not Forgetting — an imagined, cinematic institution where memory and mythology collide. Featuring a cast led by Tilda Swinton and George MacKay, with powerful, intimate performances from friends and collaborators including Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Courtney Love and Suki Waterhouse.

Broken English is a genre-defying act of resilience and rebellion. Marianne Faithfull’s final fearless declaration — her defiant swan song.
