BROKEN ENGLISH 30 commercial- Starring PARKER POSEY

www.brokenenglishfilm.com In a startling mature and nuanced performance, Parker Posey plays Nora Wilder, a thirty-something Manhattanite who is cynical about love and relationships, in this astute collaboration with first-time writer/director Zoe Cassavetes. Nora plugs away at her job in a posh downtown hotel and can't help but wonder what it is she has to do to find a relationship as ideal as her friend Audrey's (Drea De Matteo) "perfect marriage." It doesn't help that her overbearing mother (Gena Rowlands) takes every opportunity to remind Nora that she's still unattached. After a series of disastrous first dates, she meets Julien (Melvil Poupaud), a seemingly devil-may-care Frenchman with a passion for living. Expecting another disastrous ending, Nora tries to avoid making the same mistakes. She finds herself in Paris looking to break old patterns. Inevitably, Nora has to look inward before she can find a new outlook on life and most importantly, love.

no kidding. i saw it last night and loved it. someone on a forum was like, "It's ridiculous that someone like Julien would continue to pursue someone like Nora through all her insecurities and her faults, " and how she "had nothing going for her," but i loved how the film acknowledged that nora was aware she had all these obstacles but knew that she was more than shyness and awkwardness. i didn't even mind that she 'found herself' in paris. it was such a great film. and julien = dream man.
