Frida
Set in Mexico City, Julie Taymor’s visually evocative biopic focuses on the bold and controversial artist Frida Kahlo. The film traces Kahlo’s lifelong, tempestuous relationship with her mentor, Diego Rivera, along with her illicit affairs with Trotsky and various women. Her forward-thinking artistic, political, and sexual attitudes are explored as we witness a hard-drinking, passionate woman of the early 1900s, which earned an Oscar nomination for Salma Hayek.
