	Description:		“Broken English” by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard has been presented, out of competition, at the 82° Venice International Film Festival. The film as in the tradition of Forsyth and Pollard’s work, is not a simple documentary on singer and songwriter Marianne Faithfull but “a portrait of her, made with her”. As the film’s intent is to sort of recalibrate Faithfull’s legacy, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard unfolded The Ministry of Not Forgetting, an imagined, cinematic institution where memory and mythology collide. To lead this Ministry the directors put Tilda Swinton in charge while, in the task of accompanying Marianne Faithfull along a journey into her memories, actor George Mackay jumped in. What did he learned from this experience with Marianne Faithfull? Mackay replies: “I learned to not stop working and to not give up because she had faced such adversity in terms of, personal things, her career in the way that she was treated by the press and,the public understanding off the back of that.And she just did not stop working”. The post “Broken English”, interview with actor George Mackay appeared first on Fred Film Radio.
