Movie #13........................."Broken English"

Donna Kramer Barnes

Movie #13 (for DB's netflix challenge to do 300 in 365 days) is "Broken English" -Parker Posey runs the movie and I think it has a lot to say about biological clocks ticking, finding that one soulmate, living alone, the need to be loved by someone -------anyone. Parker is amazingly natural (she's usually more quirky) and she made the film for me. I highly recommend it.

Broken English(2007) PG-13

Writer-director Zoe R. Cassavetes's charming indie yarn follows 30ish New Yorker Nora Wilder (Parker Posey), a single woman in a dead-end job whose friends are all happily engaged or paired off in "perfect" marriages. Love seems to elude Nora until she meets an oddball Frenchman (Melvil Poupaud) who helps her discover life beyond her self-imposed boundaries. Gena Rowlands, Griffin Dunne and Drea de Matteo also star.
