Documentary 'L'ombra di Goya' Explores the Artist's Deafness and Its Impact on His Work

The documentary 'L'ombra di Goya', directed by José Luis Lopez-Linares, premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival and will be screened in Italian cinemas on March 6, 7, and 8, 2023. The film examines how Goya's sudden deafness and the French Revolution influenced his painting, particularly his use of sign language gestures in works like the portrait of the Duchess of Alba. The late Jean-Claude Carrière, a longtime collaborator of Luis Buñuel, appears as a guide, sharing insights during a 10-day journey through Spain, from the Prado Museum to Goya's birthplace in Fuendetodos. The documentary is part of the 'Grande Arte al Cinema' series distributed by Nexo Digital, with media partners Radio Capital, Sky Arte, and MYmovies.it, in collaboration with Abbonamento Musei.
