Consensus: Ornate costumes and a talented cast can't make up for Ghosts' glacial pace and confused plot.

From two-time Academy AwardŽ winning director Milos Forman and three-time Academy AwardŽ winning producer Saul Zaentz, GOYA'S GHOSTS is a sweeping historical epic, told through the eyes of celebrated Spanish painter Francisco Goya (STELLAN SKARSGARD). Set against the backdrop of political turmoil at the end of the Spanish Inquisition and start of the invasion of Spain by Napoleon's army, the film captures the essence and beauty of Goya's work which is best known for both the colorful depictions of the royal court and its people, and his grim depictions of the brutality of war and life in 18th century Spain. JAVIER BARDEM is Brother Lorenzo, an enigmatic, cunning member of the Inquisition's inner circle who becomes infatuated with Goya's teenage muse, Ines (NATALIE PORTMAN), when she is falsely accused of heresy and sent to prison. The film stars an impressive ensemble cast including Bardem, Portman and Skarsgard as well as strong supporting roles from Randy Quaid, Michael Lonsdale, Jose Luis Gomez and Mabel Rivera. Directed by Milos Forman, with a screenplay by Forman and Jean-Claude Carričre (BIRTH, VALMONT), GOYA'S GHOSTS is produced by Saul Zaentz. Forman is a two-time Academy Award winner whose directing credits include ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, AMADEUS, THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, HAIR, RAGTIME, VALMONT, and MAN ON THE MOON. Saul Zaentz is a three-time Academy Award winning producer whose credits include ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, AMADEUS and THE ENGLISH PATIENT. Zaentz also received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Science (AMPAS) in 1997. -- © Samuel Goldwyn Films [More]
