About Frida (The Film)

Frida is a 2002 American biopic drama film that depicts the professional and private life of the surrealist Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954). She painted many portraits including self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by her country's popular culture, she employed a naive folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her works embody the pride of Mexico's national patriotic movement, called Mexicanidad, that pulsed throughout the country following the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century. Often, her paintings had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Frida Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo)

Known as the 'master of self-portraits', her self-portraits often include interpretations of physical and psychological wounds. They are considered among the finest ever created. Most famous self-portrait is perhaps Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. 
 
The film, directed by Julie Taymor, stars Salma Hayek in her Academy Award-nominated portrayal as Kahlo and Alfred Molina as her husband, Diego Rivera. The movie was adapted from the book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera. The film generally received  positive reviews from critics, and won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Makeup among six nominations. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida)
