When Isabel Coixet directed her first film in 1988, one could count on one hand the number of women who had done so before her. Since then, she has continued to grow as a filmmaker, becoming one of the most valuable voices in contemporary auteur cinema and a fundamental reference for the new generations of female directors who have revitalized Spanish cinema. ‘Las gafas de Isabel Coixet’ offers a 360-degree panoramic view of her filmography, as well as an intimate portrait of the filmmaker, providing a glimpse into the world according to Isabel Coixet.
