Considered one of the most significant films of DEFA, the state-run East German film studio, Goya is a monumental 70mm production directed by one of East Germany’s leading directors, Konrad Wolf, who won a Special Jury Prize at the 1971 Moscow International Film Festival for this work which was also nominated for the festival’s Golden Prize. The film is based on a 1951 novel by the German-Jewish exile author Lion Feuchtwanger. Goya is one of ten East German films originally shot in 70mm.

Painter Francisco Goya stood astride the world of the old masters and the world of the modern, painting as he did in the late 18th and early 19th century. Konrad Wolf’s biopic shows the artist (played by Lithuanian actor Donatas Banionis (The Red Tent, Solyaris)) in his later years, grappling with creative issues and multiple women and pondering just how outrageous he can be without having to have a conversation with the Inquisition. He believes in King and Church, yet he is also a Spaniard who dearly loves his people. This contradiction presents him with a dilemma.
