The Secret Life of Words
Produced by Pedro Almodovar and directed by Isabel Coixet, The Secret Life of Words is the ultimate sleeper because it cannot be hyped and one cannot write about it's content without, in some way, spoiling the story for a potential viewer. Full of nuance and mystery, this is an intense, powerful and evocative film that re-sensitizes without leaving one in a state of hopelessness. Sarah Polley, Tim Rollins, and Julie Christie all give stunning performances (it is the best thing Rollins has ever done). Every minor roll is brilliantly performed as well. This is as compelling a movie as I have ever seen. I watched it 3 times, non-stop, and then decided to buy it (something I rarely do.) If you absolutely must know what it is about - Google it, but I promise you that this film is best viewed cold and, in my humble opinion, alone.Read full review

The Secret Life of Words
I saw this movie online and realized by the number of times I rented it I wanted to own it. It won a lot of festival awards, and you can see why. The musical soundtrack is very sophisticated, and when I watched the youtubes of the director Isabel Coixet speaking at festivals I just wanted it more and more. My copy was easily and inexpensively obtained by Ebay and came in the right kind of mailer. Sara Polley stars in this movie, and she has just won a Academy Award nomination for writing Away from Her. Brilliant acting by both Polley and Tim Robbins, one of the best actors of his generation for sure. I discovered a new actor to watch, Javier Camera. Julie Christie stars in this movie as well. Well cast, spellbinding, and smart. The story is about a deaf girl who works as a nurse during her vacation. To tell more would give it away. The setting is on an oil rig in Ireland. Isabel Coixet worked on an oil rig herself. The story tells about the truths these people know about each other working in a small confined place and what happens when a newcomer with her own baggage comes into the mix. The sea and the weird environment of the oil rig afford a microscope into the inner lives of the people there. Tom Robbins plays a oil rig worker whose vision has been lost in an oil rig accident. Burns are hurting him and the nurse is hired to take care of him while higher powers figure out what is the next step. The mouthy bravado of the injured worker (Robbins) meets the impenetrable silence of the nurse (Polley). Her own issues are magnified by the intensely confined space and fishbowl atmosphere of the oil rig. Due to her own psychological issues Hannah begins to bond despite resistance to the people she comes into contact with. Her habits and mannerisms, as well as theirs come into focus as revealing much more about each of them than they might wish. Hannah impacts all of the people on the oil rig permanently and learns some new things about herself. The film is not nearly as dramtically transformative as it sounds. The subtle interplay between the characters is for deconstructing after, and in Spanish or English is worth watching twice to get all the innuendos and clues. Hence my reason to buy it and lend as much as I can. A fantastic value and a sterling buy choice.Read full review

Just a hint of mystery involving communication
This compelling movie portrays an elusive and painful process of partial but meaningful recovery after extreme personal experiences. The reality that certain profoundly devastating events may never be completely recovered from is conveyed and gradually exposed in the development of a sadly beautiful relationship. As likability and trust slowly develop, the deeply moving personal secrets are revealed in one of the most emotionally compelling scenes ever captured on film. The title can then be considered the secret words of life as the tragic events that are described to the other, are the vehicle for such powerful emotional release. To this reviewer, the beauty of this film transcends any simplistic notion of whether life imitates art or the reverse. It is an incredible representation of life AND the most artistic portrayal in the movie media, that this art form can present to us.Read full review

Love so great, it's afraid to hurt others.
This is a story about two people who are thrown together by chance. Each holds a great pain deep inside. As the title wants to suggest, there is more power in words than just the literal communication between people. Through their interactions, however slight, each is transformed by the other. Although this is a low budget film, the power it displays deserves a wider audience. High recommendations.
