    • Trivia
      Strange coincidence: the actor Francisco Rabal not only plays the old Goya but in real life also died in Bordeaux, in 2001, two years after premiering the film.
    • Goofs
      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.

    Artistic Process
    I have never heard of this film, never heard of this director, but a friend shoved a VHS copy in my hand and said, "WATCH THIS!" After watching it, I am still spellbound enough to comment on it.

    While I can't say I will bow down in awe to Saura, I was certainly captivated by his work with this film. GOYA is a glimpse into the artist's influences, his fears, and his feelings; it is a glimpse into the artistic process. I found Goya's journey fascinating, and I especially appreciated the non-linear storytelling approach. Rather than barreling through a series of events that define WHY Goya is the way he is and why he painted the way he did, the audience is, in effect, putting together the pieces of a big emotional puzzle. And how the puzzle fit together or didn't fit together was really what kept me enthralled for two and half hours.

    Anyone interested in art should pick up this film.
