Nominated for six 2002 Academy Awards including Salma Hayek for Best Actress, FRIDA is the triumphant motion picture about an exceptional woman who lived an unforgettable life! A product of humble beginnings, Frida Kahlo (Hayek) earns fame as a talented artist with a unique vision. And from her enduring relationship with her mentor and husband, Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), to her scandalous affairs, Frida's uncompromising personality would inspire her greatest creations! Also starring Antonio Banderas , Ashley Judd, Edward Norton and Geoffrey Rush.
Julie Taymor (director of the Broadway production of The Lion King) directs this Oscar-winning biopic. Frida was also known for her controversial political and sexual reputation (she was a communist and a bisexual), Frida struggled with a life of wracking pain following an accident, the amputation of a leg, and finally, drug and alcohol abuse that killed her at age 47. This is beautiful film capturing the passion and courage of Frida Kahlo, and made with an artistic sensibility that playfully and creatively mirrors that of the artist herself. There are some allusions to her lesbian dalliances, but more amazingly, in a hauntingly surreal sequence concerning mortality, "Death" is played by iconic Mexican singer Chavela Vargas (who also sings the song playing at the time), who was herself Frida's lover!
