Review of Goya's Ghosts (2006) by Micah S — 11 May 2018
"A beautiful painting can't hide an ugly woman." Using the exact philosophical problem of the Spanish Inquisition (torture brings only desperation, not truth), Forman has created a posh nightmare disguised as a costume drama in Goya's Ghost.
Like his masterpiece "Amadeus", he's showing the gritty, vile humanity underneath the garish outfits & wigs of mid-millennia high-society. All the performances are great, the story is great, everything looks great.
..30% on RT?? I don't get it; an underrated tone parable.
