Czechoslovakian-born writer-director Milos Forman has a diverse list of films to his credit over a four-decades-and-counting career.
But a theme may be emerging: Goya's Ghosts, opening today, is his fourth based on the life of a real person.
The project involving the Spanish painter follows films about such disparate figures as one of the world's greatest composers (1984's Amadeus), the publisher of Hustler magazine (1996's The People vs. Larry Flynt) and a rather unorthodox comedian (1999's Man on the Moon).
"I find real people sometimes more fascinating than fiction," the director...
. . .
...lways executives at the studios who think they know better."
But he's making the best of the time he has left, he says. "I ruined my sleeping habits because I don't want to miss anything, so I was going to bed later and later every day," he laughs. "My life was saved by my wife because the only thing to get me out of bed was a good breakfast."
