We’ve been talking about Francisco Goya in Spanish recently so our teacher decided to show us this film.
I’m a big fan of some other work from Miloš Forman but it just seemed like he wasn’t sure what direction he wanted to take. This could have been so much better given the casts great performances and I think the ending is good. It’s almost as if Forman couldn’t decide on the direction he wanted the film to take while still amidst the filming process.
