Irina Palm
IRINA Palm is a more risque romantic comedy that makes the casting of Marianne Faithfull nigh on perfect.
Nominated for Best Actress at the European Film Awards last year for her gentle, beguiling performance, she plays a 50 year-old suburbanite who reluctantly becomes a sex worker to save money for her grandson’s operation.
Adopting the name Irina Palm, her delicate touch soon becomes a hit with punters.
While it may not be a film for those of a shy and retiring disposition, there’s real heart here.
