Things I Never Told You

Isabel Coixet is a Spanish film director. She is one of the most prolific female film directors of contemporary Spain, having directed seven feature-length films since the beginning of her film career in 1988. Her films follow a departure from traditional national cinema of Spain, and help to... “untangle films from their national context, … clearing the path for thinking about national film from different perspectives.” The recurring themes of “emotions, feelings and existential conflict” coupled with her distinct visual style secure the “multifaceted ” filmmaker's status as a “catalan auteur”. Coixet received an M.A. in history from the University of Barcelona in Spain before beginning work on the magazine, Fotogramas, “for which she interviewed a variety of national and international film personalities”. She started her career in advertising, filming commercials before releasing her first feature film in 1988. She has worked as a journalist and as a director for several television advertisements.
