Hi to everybody....I've just watched the Milos Forman film made in 2006 called 'Goya's Ghost'.
It was a superb study of Spain in the time of Goya and the Spanish Inquisition. It's a tragic film in that the main character played wonderfully by Natalie Portman is the hapless victim of the Inquisition and Javier Bardem as the chief Inquisitor. Stellan Skarsgεrd plays Goya and everybody gives an outstanding performance.
The story is about her and what happens to her after she is taken into custody and tortured, then charged with the crime of practising Judaism because she wouldn't eat pork in an inn. I won't tell you anymore about the film in order not to spoil it if you do decide to watch it, but there's a lot of the history of Spain at the time going on all around her and Goya.
Hope you do get a chance to see it...it will probably be shown again on Sky Movies at some future date, but isn't on again this week unfortunately...
