Broken English

Broken English (2007) is a romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Zoe R. Cassavetes. Nora is somewhere in her thirties, professionally fine, personally in freefall. Every friend has a ring or a baby. Her mother keeps a running tally.

Then she meets Julien, a carefree Frenchman played by Melvil Poupaud, and the whole script changes. Parker Posey carries the film without a trace of easy sentiment — her Nora is awkward, searching, done with waiting for a storyline that makes sense. Cassavetes keeps the film small and specific, which is exactly why it works. Watch Broken English (2007) online on iFILM.
