Most Rentable: Broken English.














I want to take this film out on a date, and kiss it.  Parker Posey is a personal hero of mine.  I aspire to her career of captivating independent films.  This movie was just another affirmation of why I admire her acting chops.  She's funny, she's fascinating, she can hold a film, and she breaks my heart.  Brilliance I tell you.  The plot focuses on Nora, a women in her thirties, dissatisfied by her life cards dealt.  She wants to be in love, and experience satisfaction and happiness. But nearly everything frightens her.  One fateful night she steps outside her personal parameters and attends a co-worker's party.  Her deep brown eyes fall upon the embarrassingly handsome Frenchman Julien.  And you'll have to rent the film to find out what happens.  P.S. even if you hate the film, you'll go ape over Nora's clothes, and the apartment inspiration!
