Broken English

Made by the daughter of iconoclastic filmmaker John Cassavetes, Broken English is about Nora, beautifully played by Parker Posey, a thirty-something Manhattanite plugging away at her job in a posh downtown hotel, but can't help but wonder what it is she has to do to establish a successful relationship. Nora is constantly reminded by her tactless mother (Gena Rowlands) just how unlucky she has been in love. Though Nora longs to enter into a blissful union she finds that the dating pool just isn't what it used to be. Things soon begin to look up, when Nora makes the acquaintance of handsome but quirky Frenchman with a passion for living. However things don't go quite to plan and Inevitably Nora has to look inward before she can find a new outlook on life and most importantly, love.
