How it feels

This 1973 Spanish documentary uses a dramatic poem to cover the life and work of painter Francisco de Goya. It connects his paintings to cinema but relies too much on words instead of showing the colorful artworks.

What happens

Goya és un llargmetratge documental espanyol en color dirigit per Rafael Julià Salvia i Giménez en 1973 basant-se en un poema dramàtic entres actes del'historiador de l'art aragonès José Camón Aznar basat en la biografia i les obres del pintor aragonès Francisco de Goya y Lucientes com a paradigma d'una època, amb una visió negativa i pessimista. Mostra les relacions entre l'obra d'aquest pintor i el cinema, però criticada per l'abús de la paraula en detriment de les obres en color. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
