Goya in Bordeaux
you should go...read why:
In a film brimming over with color, passionate music, the horror of war, the follies of humanity, tragic decisions, and artistic brilliance, Carlos Saura examines the final days of Spanish artist Francisco Goya, sent to France in political exile with his compassionate mistress and their young daughter. Locked in a prison of deafness since a deadly disease during his mid-40s, the 82-year-old explored the chaotic world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and the inner world of his imagination in order to paint the canvases which silently herald the advent of modern art. Throughout GOYA IN BORDEAUX, which is purposely filmed in a boldly theatrical manner, we are treated to large images of Goya's striking paintings, etchings, and sketches, while learning of his philosophy of life, death, art, politics, and religion.
