Art History at the Movies: Goya’s Ghosts

I just want to let you readers know that I am not completely satisfied with this post.  However, I felt like I could not do anymore to it, so I decided to publish this anyway.  ETA:  I cleaned this up a little.

Out of all the ones have I seen so far, I probably enjoyed this movie the most.  When watching, I felt real exhilaration and enjoyment.  In short, Goya’s Ghosts makes for an epic, semi-fictional tale of Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgaard)  and Ines Bilbatua (Natalie Portman), his muse, and Spain, an embattled country.

Art History at the Movies: What I have done so far.

For the past week, I have watched and took notes on various art history movies.  I will post up the reviews as soon as I read up on each subject so I can (to the best of my abilities) critically write them up.    Basically, my process first starts with writing while watching the movie, then I read some books on the same book, then I rewrite ad nauseum.  Afterwards, I turn in the last draft.

Reviews to expect:
