This fall the Meadows Museum and DIFF collaborate to present outstanding works by Carlos Saura (1932–2023), one of Spain’s most celebrated and prolific directors. He is known for films that offer social and political commentary and use allegory to explore Spanish identity.

Goya en Burdeos (Goya in Bordeaux), 1999

Synopsis:

Spanish artist Francisco Goya (1746–1828), deaf and ill, lives the last years of his life in voluntary exile in Bordeaux in protest of the oppressive rule of King Ferdinand VII. In flashbacks stirred by conversations with his daughter Rosario, terrible headaches, and diminished capacities due to age, Goya relives key moments in his life, including his artistic development and his relationship with the Duchess of Alba. Throughout the film, Goya’s reflections become the tableaux of his paintings. “Goya en Burdeos” unravels the mysteries of an artist and genius who never abandoned his deep concern for his country and for his people. The film won five categories at the 14th Goya Awards, including Best Actor for Francisco Rabal.

Admission: $5; free for members at the Goya/Individual level and up and SMU students

Spanish with English subtitles | 106 minutes | Rated R
