Factual errors: In some copies on the film, when Goya's daughter Rosario is showing him her drawing, sitting on an easel in the background we see "La lechera de Burdeos/The Milkmaid of Bordeaux", one of the artist's last paintings. The image we see is reversed - the milkmaid is facing to the right and in the original she faces to the left. This is so due to the fact that the negative of some DVDs and some release prints is inverted in a brief middle section of the film that includes this scene. Another scene is that in which he is commissioned to paint the frescoes of San Antonio de la Florida Chapel. more

Having Goya's exciting paintings on my mind I expected something different. Goya's life must have been interesting, but the film left out most of it. Every piece of story which could have been shown in a slightly more entertaining way (e.g. the plot against the Marquesa or how he worked himself to success) have been dropped before they really started. Instead, the movie got stuck in endless monologues and lulling dialogues. Some scenes seemed to be made for a theatric play, and I thought they didn't belong into a motion picture. I also missed a clear explanation of the historical and political setting. I did not fully understand Goya's relation to the French nor his political role in Spain. Nonetheless, I liked most of the transitions of his paintings into film sequences. But overall, I can only give 5/10.
