Goya in Bordeaux

Francisco Goya (1746-1828), deaf and ill, lives the last years of his life in voluntary exile in Bordeaux, a Liberal protesting the oppressive rule of Ferdinand VII. He's living with his much younger wife Leocadia and their daughter Rosario. He continues to paint at night, and in flashbacks stirred by conversations with his daughter, by awful headaches, and by the befuddlement of age, he relives key times in his life, particularly his relationship with the Duchess of Alba, his discovery of how he wanted to paint (insight provided by Velázquez's work), and his lifelong celebration of the imagination. Throughout, his reveries become tableaux of his paintings. Goya in Bordeaux featuring Francisco Rabal and José Coronado is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates. It's a biography and drama movie with an average IMDb audience rating of 6.6 (2,294 votes) and was met with mixed reviews by critics.
