“Marianne was an artist’s artist … but public perception had been frozen and been stuck,” said Jane Pollard who co-directed with fellow British filmmaker Iain Forsyth.

“When Marianne died so many of the obituaries that ran were headlined ‘Mick Jagger’s ex-girlfriend dies’ … and you kind of think, would you want to be defined for a lifetime by a fairly fleeting relationship that you had in your youth?” Forsyth told Reuters.
“Why have a ‘Ministry of Not Forgetting’? Well, because there are many artists whose legacies if left to the algorithms of AI will be misrepresentative of the truth,” said Pollard ahead of the film’s premiere on Saturday.
Named after Faithfull’s comeback album released in 1979 after spending two years living on the streets of London, Broken English features actors Tilda Swinton as the ministry overseer and George MacKay in the role of record keeper and interviewer.
“The physical feat of it with Covid having ravaged her body and not feeling comfortable to talk for long without oxygen, to take it away and to sing was incredibly moving,” MacKay said.
Broken English is playing out of competition at Venice, meaning it is not in the running for the prestigious Golden Lion award that will be handed out on September 6.
