In this episode Dr Laura-Jane Foley meets film director, painter and writer Gillies MacKinnon. Gillies chooses 'Saturn Devouring his Son' (c.1819-23) by Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya (1746 - 1828). In a wide-ranging discussion, Gillies reflects on how this grotesque image has influenced his film-making.
