Goya's Ghosts**
Apollo West End

Spa 2006. Saul Zaentz/Kanzaman. 114m.

During the Spanish Inquisition, a model for the artist Francesco Goya is imprisoned, and her captor himself becomes tortured and reformed.
Professionally made but puzzling historical drama cum black comedy, with a rather over-extended circular plot and no discernible point or a central character - Goya himself is an incidental figure.
