We watched 'The Secret Life of Words' a few nights ago and were totally enthralled by it. Such a beautiful illustration of how Life can bring us together under the most unusual (and sometimes challenging) circumstances in order to heal/grow.
Here's the synopsis, as described by its producer, Isabel Coixet:
Quote:
|
An isolated spot in the middle of the sea. An oil rig, where all the workers are men, on which there has been an accident. A solitary, mysterious woman who is trying to forget her past (Sarah Polley) is brought to the rig to look after a man (Tim Robbins) who has been temporarily blinded. A strange intimacy develops between them, a link full of secrets, truths, lies, humour and pain, from which neither of them will emerge unscathed and which will change their lives forever. A film about the weight of the past. About the sudden silence that is produced before a storm. About twenty-five million waves, a Spanish cook (Javier Cámara) and a goose. And, above all else, about the power of love even in the most terrible circumstances.
