Visually stunning, the film starts in the final moments of the artist's life, where usually people tend to revise their entire existence. Seems like a cliché, and it is; however, it doesn't affect its result and it should please Goya's and Saura's fans.
The film dedicates itself completely to art fans, not just movie fans, and since it's Goya' life it must be that way. Great accomplishment by Saura, who mixes music, dance and visually transports us into Goya's psyche. Francisco Rabal delivers a trademark performance keeping testosterone and heartfelt in good level with old age.
Milos Forman disappointing Goya's Ghosts is far from comparison with this one.
Another gem that should not be missed by any art fans in general.
