Say to me what means "Girl, interrupted" for the Englishman, please?
Our translators translated it in Russian how "Interrupted life", but I don't know why!
P.S.: this is the name of the film.
P.P.S.: I've changed name of this post from What means "Girl, interrupted"? to What does "Girl, interrupted" mean? ))
Yes, "Girl Interrupted" is a film, but before that it was a book. The book is based upon the true life experiences of a young girl when she spent almost two years in a a psychiatric hospital after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. So, her life as a girl was "interrupted" so to speak while she was in the hospital. Then after she was released, she continued on with her life.Quote:

It is said that the title for the book came from the famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, "Girl Interrupted at her Music"
BTW, the movie is VERY good (hard to watch though as very emotional) and Angelina Jolie won several awards for her role in the film.
