Customer Reviews of Broken English (Unrated Version)
pleased I didn't really know what to expect with broken english but I was pleased at how well the movie was shot. The story line is definetely unique to say. A croat immigrant to new zealand with new zealand citizenship being paid by a chinese immigrant so he can stay in the country while falling in love with a maori man to her father's displeasure. The movie is intense with some really great acting in it.
Subtle, technically perfect incest study
I saw this $2 million film at the Edmonton film festival in 1997. From the first scene I knew I was seeing a film that was very well thought out - the windshield wipers of a bus traveling through a destroyed Sarajevo are synched to the sound track's beat. The characters were obviously well researched and it is also obvious that the director spent a great deal of time with his cast of unknown actors - there is a startling sex scene that no inexperienced actor could pull off without a great deal of coaching - a scene that caused the film to be rejected by North American distributors and is the reason the film is largely unknown there.
This film was Rade Serbedzija big break. The director, Gregor Nicholas told me after the film that Serbedzija called him one night drunk from London thanking him for making him into a bad guy. Serbedzija was thanking him because he got the roll of the bad guy in The Saint opposite Val Kilmer because of his role in Broken English. He also told me that they had to modify the bus in the first scene so that the wipers would synch with the music.
Finally, the true issue of this film - incest - is so subtle that most people don't even notice it at all.
WHEN YOU NEED AN EVIL RUSSIAN, SERBIAN, OR WHATEVER ASK RADE
I expected something more from this film... something more culturally interesting, but all I found was two people who happen to be from different cultures who really like each other sexually and think they are in love, although I cannot see how, in the brief amount of time that they have known one another, they could know much about each other. The woman, a Croatian immigrant who happens to have New Zealand citizenship, marries a Chinese man just so that he and his Chinese girlfriend can stay in the country. Meanwhile the Croatian woman (Nina) is having her passionate love affair with a Maori (or part Maori) local man named Eddie. Yes, they have passionate relations and yes, this film displays those relations gratuitously. Nina's family (particularly the father played by Rade Serbedzija) is very violent and none too pleased with her choice of mates. However, their disapproval goes a bit too far into unreality when the father bars Nina into her room after she nearly suffers a miscarriage. Yes, she does end up pregnant (without telling Eddie-this is after they have a fight and break up)... and yes, she does end up estranged from her father forever after. It was entertaining. I could sit and watch it. But it is not something I would necessarily recommend.
