Goya's Ghosts

Forman’s return to feature filmmaking after seven years of teaching depicts the struggle for religious and social freedom embodied by Francisco Goya’s paintings. Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgård, and Javier Bardem star in a dramatic tale spun around anti-Semitism, the Inquisition, and the imperative of art. An exquisitely beautiful sketch of an era in Spain’s history, Goya’s Ghosts was lauded by Premiere as “one of Forman’s most ambitious and daring films.” 2007, 35mm, 113 minutes.
