All will uncover secrets through words and, in turn, have words that will uncover secrets performative actions , which is one way to take shape, and the images are made and remade from its secrets. These images become content (holders of promise, hope, horror and shame) to build the new forms, including the many challenges they have, is to preserve the memory and, somehow, human frailty.
The Secret Life of Words shows Hanna, a girl who lives somewhere in Ireland, he washes his hands constantly, calls made to mourn, consistently eat chicken, rice and half a block, studied nursing , works at a textile company where never asked even one day of vacation in four years, has a strange accent, carries a huge embarrassment and is also deaf. By chance, in the days of their new rental, you can get to an oil rig in the ocean where only live six people who all they want, apparently, is to be left in peace. Including Josef, the patient must meet Hanna: He was temporarily blinded after trying to save a colleague who attempted suicide during a fire on the platform.
Killing time before he kill you
The first part of the film is set in the platform, with the backdrop icy ocean waves and the mist. The constant lack of communication between characters is the element to which point the look of Coixet. This look, its impact on the isolation, revealing the emotional end of the characters, as secrets are being revealed only by the word: Hanna, deaf, which tells the caller blind living nightmares as a result of his horrific past, and Josef can not see it and not stop talking about looking to kill time.
time is what is sought to transgress, a past that left scars on the skin and in the memory, a time that echoes in consciousness.
In the second part of the movie, the wounds and the past no longer advances, and are not remnants of a time, but come into existence. So much so that memory, and it closes Coixet presentations on the secret of the images, offers a disturbing dialogue about good European memory and responsibility on a recent past, shameful and embarrassing, so much so that pictures (as words) contain secrets to be revealed to not only communicate but to survive.
