Trivia:
Milos Forman cast Natalie Portman after noticing her likeness to the girl in Goya's painting "Milkmaid of Bordeaux".
more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The movie was inspired by Goya's Milkmaid of Bordeaux painting (Portman being cast because she looked like the girl in the painting). However, the movie depicts Milkmaid of Bordeaux as being painted in 1792 (the time when Ines was arrested) while in reality it is dated 1825-1827 and Goya's authorship of it has been doubted.

Quotes:
Goya:

Brother Lorenzo: She is in very good hands?
Goya: [going after Lorenzo with rage] Tell me where she is!

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen. The actors are excellent, transferring their feelings of being lost, of hope and despair. And the movie itself is beautifully done - in the tradition of Amadeus, Ragtime and Valmont. I suggest seeing it on big screen.
It is nice to see Forman return with such a movie. Also, congratulations to the cast:
Javier Bardem (Brother Lorenzo), Natalie Portman (Inés/Alicia), Stellan Skarsgård (Goya).
I especially liked Natalie's performance. It is rare that such a young actress in Hollywood delivers such a performance in such a movie.
