Rufus Wainwright and Norah Jones will share the spotlight inside Park City's Eccles Theatre on Sunday night following the festival premiere of Broken English from filmmakers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. The film, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last fall, is a genre-bending portrait of singer, songwriter and beloved artist Marianne Faithfull. The film opens with an introduction to Ministry of Not Forgetting, a fictitious research facility where Tilda Swinton and George MacKay are seen opening an inquiry into Faithfull's life and career. The late Faithfull, who died a year ago at 78 on Jan. 30, 2025, is seen through archival and performance footage. It's described as "a playful and wildly original portrait of a musician who refused to conform." Sophia Di Martino, Zawe Ashton, Calvin Demba, Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Courtney Love, Suki Waterhouse, Beth Orton and Jehnny Beth also star.
