Goya's Ghosts

 

USA 2006, 113 minutes
Dir. Milos Forman
Genres: Drama / Epic, Arts & Artists

Topics: Period - 1700s.

 

Aroview: A lavish, if ill-designed costume epic based around Spanish artist Francisco Goya (Skarsgard), his closest acquaintances, and the eventful late 18th century.

Satisfying his taste for opulent European spectacle, dir. Forman (AMADEUS) delivers the expected luxuriousness in dress, décor and cinematography. However ravishing though, those seeking the finer details of Goya’s life may come away disappointed, with the painter’s career a mere framing device for torrid melodrama (centred around his muse and best friend, played by Portman and Bardem respectively) and historical recreation (from the Spanish Inquisition to Napoleon's invasion).
