Frida
2002 – USA – 2hrs 3min – color – 35mm – dir: Julie Taymor
Julie Taymor directs this award-winning portrait of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, focusing on her often rocky relationship with husband Diego Rivera and her controversial political and sexual life. Kahlo struggled with pain and addiction following a debilitating accident and, later, the amputation of her right leg. But her vivid paintings speak of a life fully lived. Featuring Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina.
