Broken English

“Hauntingly beautiful performances of Faithfull’s music.” ★★★★ — Time Out

“A playful, powerful rock documentary” ★★★★ — NME

A survivor and true original, Marianne Faithfull spent over six decades defying expectations. Made with her full involvement, Broken English is an intimate portrait of a fractured yet unbreakable life shaped by fame, creativity, and scrutiny.

Set within the imagined ‘Ministry of Not Forgetting’, where memory and mythology collide, Broken English guides both its audience and cast toward a moving, thought-provoking reckoning with self and empathy.

Led by Tilda Swinton and George MacKay, and featuring Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Courtney Love, and Suki Waterhouse, this genre-defying film stands as Faithfull’s final, fearless declaration — a defiant swan song.
