The effort conveys the clumsy earnestness of an elaborately produced high school pageant.

Lushly photographed and grandly conceived, Carlos Saura's Goya in Bordeaux never comes alive.

Offers an unflinching and original look at the Spanish painter who spent his last years living in exile in France.

Francisco Goya's paintings, feast for the eyes, lush & enthralling -: it leaves you empty and cold, confusing is it a biopic?

The use of incorporating actual paintings of Goya into the film help tell a rich story of a artist who lead a very interesting life of love and also displaying his biggest virtue which lead him into a lot of trouble in his work and life, the truth.
