DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO
Epic historical drama from director Milos Forman. Near the end of the 16th Century,* Francisco Goya *(Stellan Skarsgard) is a gifted but controversial artist whose work has earned the enmity of the Spanish government as well as the Catholic Church. Surprisingly,* Brother Lorenzo *(Javier Bardem),* a monk involved in the Inquisition,* has hired Goya to paint a portrait of himself,* and to prove to the Inquisitor General *(Michael Lonsdale) he's not in cahoots with the renegade artist,* Lorenzo targets Ines *(Natalie Portman),* one of Goya's favorite models,* as a possible heretic. Under torture from Lorenzo,* Ines signs a false confession,* and her wealthy and powerful father,* Tomas Bilbatua *(Jose Luis Gomeza),* offers Lorenzo a taste of his own medicine by brow-beating him into signing a document confessing that his mother was an ape. Lorenzo flees Spain as his reputation lies in tatters,* and Goya earns greater infamy as he paints a wildly unflattering portrait of Queen Maria Luisa *(Blanca Portillo) under commission from her husband,* King Carlos IV *(Randy Quaid),* but Ines remains in prison thanks to her coerced confession. 15 years later,* Lorenzo has become a follower of the Enlightenment,* and returns to Spain as Napoleon's forces storm the nation and the Inquisition finally collapses. Lorenzo attempts to liberate Ines from prison,* but a shocking discovery awaits him.
