Being one of the most established film directors and screenwriters in Spain, Isabel Coixet dazzled us all after her direction in Things I never told you (nineteen ninety six). After filming it, it seems that the plot was taken literally, because the one in Barcelona does not keep quiet about anything. Neither her, nor her great friend Candela Peña: “We are very loudmouths.” This is what he told Carlos del Amor in The Mathematics of the Mirror.
“Someone has to be like us and it doesn’t look good all the time”
Isabel Coixet and Candela Peña They enjoy an enviable friendship. Candela has assured in the La 2 program that “without Isabel I could not live”: “She loves me, takes care of me, accompanies me… and also challenges me to be a better person (…) I love her infinitely.” For her part, Coixet admires the work of her friend every day: “The big thing I have is how to find a vehicle that lives up to this aunt’s talent?”

In addition to a beautiful friendship, they also share other qualities, such as not keeping anything to themselves: “Sometimes we get that thing: ‘well, if I think this, I’ll say it.’ AND then there are consequences, No?. But someone also has to be like us and it doesn’t look good all the time, because we give it a little flavor.”
Even though she often blurts out the first thing that comes to mind, Isabel Do not regret anything of what he has said throughout his career: “These are things that I feel and that I think. If on a red carpet they want you to give a thesis about abuse, consent, etc… I don’t think so. “I still think it’s not the place.”
“I wouldn’t define myself as a good person”
The winner of 8 Goya awards has confessed to del Amor that she often thinks about the way she acts. She would not be defined as a good person: “Not all of us are, or we are until we stop being.” Despite everything, she tries hard: “Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t. I’m not going to say that I’m terrible either, because that’s not it either. But I don’t know, I guess in certain circumstances yes and sometimes, well no.”
