Goya's Ghosts
horizontal line

The horrors and injustices of the Spanish Inquisition as seen through the eyes and paintings of famous Spanish painter Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgård) set the backdrop of this historically inspired, but fictional dark, tragic, uneven, 2006 Miloš Forman film about Spanish church officials (Michael Lonsdale, et al.) who falsely imprison Inés (Natalie Portman), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Madrid merchant (José Luis Gómez), as a heretic in 1792, and the painter's efforts to get his muse released by soliciting the help of an inquisition priest (Javier Bardem) who subsequently disgraces the Church, escapes to France, and triumphantly returns to Spain 16 years later after joining Napoleon's army only to discover that Inés bore him a child while in prison.
