Summary
“Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment” is a drama film produced in East Germany (at the time) in 1971 directed by Konrad Wolf. It is based on a novel with the same title by Lion Feuchtwanger and Lithuanian actor Donatas Banionis starred as Goya. Goya, a painter in the court of King Carlos IV, gains wealth and reputation. He believes in King and Church, but also loves his people very much, and this contradiction presents him with a dilemma. The film is one of ten East German films originally shot in 70mm and won a special prize at the 7th Moscow International Film Festival in 1971.
