Goya in Bordeaux

Directed by Carlos Saura

With Francisco Rabal, Jose Coronado, Dafne Fernández, Maribel Verdú and Eulalia Ramón

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.
