Film still from "Broken English," directed by Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth (UK, 2025).

The intimate and bold swan song of Marianne Faithfull: singer, songwriter, rock icon, and tireless survivor of her own legend. With a cinematic approach as daring as its protagonist, the film is set in the “Ministry of Not Forgetting”—an imaginary space where memory and myth collide to review over six decades of constant reinvention, unforgettable hits, addiction, and relentless public scrutiny. Crafted with the artist’s full involvement shortly before her passing, the documentary shuns clichés to become an electrifying, final, fearless declaration, a symphony of resilience, vulnerability, and uncompromising art that delivers the perfect farewell to a free, fractured yet unbreakable spirit.

Film will be screened in its original version with subtitles in Catalan (Oct. 29) and Spanish (Nov. 5).

A film in the 2026 edition of the In-Edit International Music Documentary Film Festival.
