About this product

Product Information

Brilliant colors that bring Frida Kahlo's Mexico City to vibrant life combine with a captivating performance by Salma Hayek to make director Julie Taymor's FRIDA a fascinating film. Starting and ending with Frida on her deathbed, the film spans the famous painter's life from her teenage years to her death at the young age of 47. From start to finish, Frida is portrayed as a relentlessly energized, self-righteous, headstrong, assertive woman. At the age of 18, Frida was horribly injured in a bus accident. Though she learned to walk again, she lived her life in physical agony, enduring multiple surgeries, and eventually needing a wheelchair. Yet her condition did not stop her from having an exciting, tumultuous life as the wife of famed artist and womanizer Diego Rivera, who mentored her in her own work and encouraged her passions. Frida had liberal views and socialist politics. She was bisexual and promiscuous. She drank, abused painkillers, sang and danced, and fearlessly poured her pain and beauty into her paintings. Taymor has created a lively and dramatically emotive film with FRIDA, capturing her endearing resiliency with color, music, and, of course, art.

    Hollywood, Perspective and Propaganda

    If I were to take a traditional view for and against Trotsky this film would be acceptable as depicting the partying type drunken attitudes and loose sexual values shown in this film, for the Trotskyite point of view the film would depict the human qualities of its characters from the Stalinist point of view it would reveal a narrative of its bourgeois characters as the not so serious revolutionaries: But from the Hollywood type perspective it is simply cheap propaganda and entertainment where everything becomes objectified as a commodity that in the revolutionary perspective is sold with a use value in a mythology rather than fact that traces the long thin line between soft pornography and film, where that industry never seems to ever reach the core of the subject matter as its creators ...

  • A great depiction by Salma Hayek

    I've read the biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera, and a lot of the movie came from the book. Like Frida Kahlo's artwork, the movie is visually stunning yet abhorrent to contemplate. Frida Kahlo's life was tragic in many ways, yet she defied odds to become a brilliant artist and immensely interesting person. Her stormy marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera is depicted here, but the intricate complexity of the relationship is not played up as much as it should have been. The scene from Frida's childhood accident, when a bar nearly divided her in half vertically, is beautifully depicted (that's right, beautifully) with the use of gold dust in the scene. Here's the epitome of Frida--a car crash you can't look away from.

  • Biography of the Colorful Artistic Life of Frida Kahlo

    Producer & leading lady, Salma Hayek made sure this biography Mexico's most prominent woman artist reached the screen. Hayek playing the role of Frida Kahlo herself had to age 30 years onscreen. "Frida" delineates Kahlo's affluent youth in Mexico City. The true story reveals Frida had a close relationship with her traditional mother (Patricia Reyes Spindola) & deeply philosophical father (Roger Rees). What is usually missing in stories about Kahlo is that she suffered from the crippling Polio after effects. Other stories focus upon Kahlo's severe injuries from a city bus accident. The miracle of Kahlo's life is that much of her best art was created after the bus accident, during the period of her bed-ridden state. She created many dozens of ...

  • Colorful take on the lives of Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera

    This movie is packed with entertainment and educational punch.....let me recap my impressions: Superb photography with lush colors and complex compositions. Award-winning soundtrack from Eliot Goldenthal who has tastefully selected traditional, memory-evoking songs from Mexico's rich legacy to bring poignancy to this love story of two of Mexico's most renown artists. Expert, artful direction from Julie Taymor who believes in the use of low lighting to enhance dialog and mood. Latinos Salma Hayek (Frida Kahlo) and Alfred Molina (Diego Rivera) do a very credible job of portraying the deep and complex relationship experienced by Frida and Diego. Very special singing performances (in Spanish) from both Chavela Vargas (LA LLORONA) and Salma Hayek (LA ...

  • FRIDA KAHLO the DVD with Salma Hayek

    I've seen this movie twice on TV and wanted my own copy! This is a wonderful movie about this strong woman who overcame many obstacles throughout her life at a time when women, particularly Latina women, faced profound oppression. The movie is beautifully photographed. The NY Post calls it a "visual FEAST". The casting (Salma Hayek as Frida, Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera) could not have been better suited. Their passionate personalities spark palpable chemistry on the screen. They provoked strong emotions in the viewer: I loved them, hated them, rejoiced with them, cried with them. I can't say enough good things about this movie. I'm so glad to have it in my home collection!
