>Synopsis: An old man awakens in bed confused and bewildered. After wandering through a house he doesn't recognize he ends up out on the street impeding traffic and pedestrians until his daughter Rosarito (Dapne Fernadez) comes to his rescue and takes him home. The old man is the legendary painter Goya now in the twilight of his life. Through the eyes of age and experience his life unfolds in a series of flashbacks revealing his passion for painting, his one true love Cayetana (Maribel Verdu) and his homeland Spain. <

>Critique: Released in '99 `Goya in Bordeaux' is an artsy film heavy on visual presentation but somewhat lacking in character development. It has the feel of a stage production except for the few sequences filmed outside. Most of the film is shot indoors within the confines of the home or studio of Goya. The settings are extremely minimalist, containing just enough furniture as necessary. The cinematography gives the impression of a stage providing just enough light to allow the audience to follow the action but dark and shadowy around the edges to give the impression of more space than there really is. The atmosphere created by the director is indeed unique but just didn't appeal to me. <

>Making matters worse, I also found the cast to be stiff and uninteresting, except for the lovely Dapre Fernadez in the role of his daughter and care giver. I simply couldn't get caught up in the storyline and ended up watching mostly for the well conceived sequences when Goya's paintings came to life to haunt and fascinate. <

>My rating: One viewing was plenty for me. My rating: -3 Stars-.
Goya In Bordeaux
Truly excellent movie. The photography makes one believe one is looking at a moving Goya painting. Really first rate.
The human side of a genius
The society tends to think of artists as selfish, solitary and detached from reality. "Goya in Bordeaux" shows the surprisingly human and sympathetic side of the great artist. The film is not just about Goya's genius. It's about his earthly loves. After a lifetime of moderate promiscuity, Goya settles down into unexpectedly conventional domesticity with his wife and daughter. His concern for his family is genuine and tender. Goya agrees to discontinue his disturbing paintings, because they scare his daughter.
