| | Goya in Bordeaux (Goya en Burdeos) (Spain, 1999). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel. |
 | | The movie is self-explanatory, the art of the superb director Carlos Saura is apparent, his collaboration with Storaro seamless. |
 | | The film is a cauldron with a paella of thoughts, talk and visuals about art, with interspersed sketches, drawings, engravings, still paintings, paintings that move and take on life, homages to Velasquez (both by the film and by Goya), "tableaux vivants," politics, and the long affair between Goya and the love of his life. |
 | | His record is sublime, from realistic to symbolic or allegorical political films (during the years of that other Francisco, dictator Franco), to poetic works on love, dance and music (within dramas) which blend traditions and experimentation, and more. |
