2002 Directed by Julie Taymor
"Frida" chronicles the life Frida Kahlo shared unflinchingly and openly with Diego Rivera, as the young couple took the art world by storm. From her complex and enduring relationship with her mentor and husband to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative and romantic entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a bold and uncompromising life as a political, artistic, and sexual revolutionary

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not sure how it's possible that I never saw it before.
It has everything.
PASSION.
ART.
WOMAN DIRECTOR.
No wonder Salma Hayek is married to a billionaire.
Also, Alfred Molina: I'll always cherish him for playing Jenny's father in An Education, but his role as Diego Rivera is also amazing.
An exquisite and thoughtful unravelling of Frida Kahlo's life, even though it should maybe have focused a little more on her relationship with her actual art.
I wish this had focused more on Frida as a person rather than her love interests but I liked how they incorporated her art into the editing and also the music was really atmospheric and pretty.
Mulher complexa e atemporal, uma vida de dor e tragédia. Muito bem roteirizado e uma trilha sonora simbólica, faz jus ao belíssimo trabalho de interpretação dramática de Salma Hayek.
I loved everything about this film. How accurate the story was, the acting and the art. Stunning. Sad. Funny. Tragic.
I know Harvey Weinstein’s name is behind a lot of Miramax titles but his role in this one is quite present, yikes. It’s almost offensive to Frida Kahlo’s legacy. Why is 95% of the film in English too?
Vastly more interesting then most biopics, Taymor and Hayek (who, the more I read about the project, should really be credited as co-director) adding things like puppets, replications of Kahlo's art, and a general impressionism the genre is sorely lacking. Hayek herself is great (it's criminal she hasn't gotten more Important Roles, however you want to define that) playing Kahlo as a fierce mind and never a victim.
The problem in this movie is well...the men. Rivera and Trotsky come off terribly (as I imagine they likely would in life) and seem to detract from the story whenever it follows them instead of Frida. Perhaps that's inevitable given Kahlo's relationship with these two men, but I would be fascinated to see a version of this film where the camera never leaves her, or cares about anyone else.
here is a link to Salma Hayek's piece in the New York Times about Harvey Weinstein and his influence on this film. i've copy and pasted one of the most pertinent parts.

"I was hoping he would acknowledge me as a producer, who on top of delivering his list of demands shepherded the script and obtained the permits to use the paintings. I had negotiated with the Mexican government, and with whomever I had to, to get locations that had never been given to anyone in the past — including Frida Kahlo’s houses and the murals of Kahlo’s husband, Diego Rivera, among others.
