Set against the backdrop of political turmoil at the end of the Spanish Inquisition and start of the invasion of Spain by Napoleon's army, the film tells the story of painter Francisco Goya who faces a scandal involving his muse, who is labeled a heretic by a monk.
Goya gets lost as the filmmakers turn Spanish history into a chronicle of easy contemporary targets. They don't just hit the social-political bull's-eye -- they obliterate it with a cannon and inadvertently scorch the dramatic landscape all around it.

A storyline that turns so silly, you half-expect Mel Brooks to show up reprising his "Inquisition" musical number from History of the World Part I.
Captures the essence of the period -- an intriguing, backward era in Spain -- but without the emotional impact that such a film requires.

It's a richly seen and felt movie, but not one with a feel-good message.

A modern sensibility afflicts much of the screenplay, with characters expressing thoughts and opinions for our ears rather than acting as people of that era.
