Goya's Ghosts
Milos Forman ("Amadeus") directs this lavish epic drama set against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition, where a devoted priest (Javier Bardem) invites the wrath of the still-dangerous Inquisition by hiring controversial artist Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgard) to paint his portrait. When one of Goya's beautiful models and artistic muse (Natalie Portman) is imprisoned by Church officials, she and the priest have a fateful encounter that will haunt them both years later - with devistating results. With strong performances and the film's attention to detail, 'Goya's Ghost' paints a realistic and sad portrait of one of history's darkest times. 'An extraordinarily beautiful film' - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun - Times
