yea i read that, is there any word when it will hit theaters
shareIt doesn't have a US distributor yet, so one of the reasons it is playing Sundance is for it to hopefully get picked up for theatrical release. Ideally that will happen at the festival.
I believe that Gaumont will be releasing it in France (the same company that handled Cashback there).

The Broken
DiRectoR/scReenwRiteR: sean ellis
United Kingdom, 2007, 110 min., color, 35mm
On a typically gloomy day in London, Gina, a young
and beautiful radiologist, is sure she just saw herself
driving by—in her own car. When she follows
her mysterious doppelganger into an unfamiliar
apartment, she isn’t quite sure she can trust her own
eyes until she spots a photo of herself and her father
on the entryway table. Understandably spooked, she
dashes back down to her car. Soon she finds herself
in the hospital, unable to remember what has put
her there or much about the strange woman. What
Gina does know is her boyfriend seems different, the
ceiling above the bathtub leaks blood in her dreams,
and broken mirrors are becoming a recurring theme in
her life. Increasingly paranoid, Gina is experiencing a
bizarre and horrific version of her former life, and as
things spiral out of control, she must escape from, or
come to grips with, her new reality.
Sean ellis’s vision of London is full of shadows and
blind corners. A color palette that matches the
foreboding skies and well-placed overhead shots
of the bewildering street pattern heighten the
claustrophobic feeling of being trapped with Gina in
an inescapable maze. As Gina struggles to put the
pieces together, you may wonder about your own
bathroom mirror, and who stares back at you in the
middle of the night. –MATT ANDeRSON
