Goya in Bordeaux
Directed by Carlos Saura
Produced by Italian International Film, Vía Digital
A meditative, melancholic portrait of an aging artist in exile, grappling with memory, mortality, and the weight of a life lived under political oppression.
Francisco Goya (1746-1828), deaf and ill, lives the last years of his life in voluntary exile in Bordeaux, a Liberal protesting the oppressive rule of Ferdinand VII. He's living with his much younger wife Leocadia and their daughter Rosario. He continues to paint at night, and in flashbacks stirred by conversations with his daughter, by awful headaches, and by the befuddlement of age, he relives key times in his life.
