ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Two-time Academy Award winning film FRIDA is a brilliant and beautiful biography of iconic artist Frida Kahlo. Starring the effervescent Salma Hayek (DESPERADO, SAVAGES) as Kahlo, and magnetic direction from Julie Taymor (ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, THE GLORIAS), FRIDA is a truly artistic experience to behold. Even the New York Times agress that FRIDA "Brilliantly captures the brightness of the light, the intensity of the colors and the omnipresence of Mexican motifs that informed Kahlo's art."

SYNOPSIS

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.
