The true story of Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek) and her husband Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), the larger-than-life painters who became the most acclaimed artists in Mexican history, and whose tempestuous love affair, landmark journeys to America, and outrageous personalities made them legendary. Also featuring Antonio Banderas as David Siqueiros, Edward Norton as Nelson Rockefeller and Geoffrey Rush as Leon Trotsky. Directed by Julie Taymor who has also made remarkable film versions of Titus Andronicus, The Tempest and the original stage version of The Lion King.
“Smart, willful and perverse, this Frida is nobody’s servant, and the tiny Hayek plays her with head held high. You may want to laugh now and then, but you won’t look away.” (David Denby – New Yorker)
