Nominated for six 2002 Academy Awards, Frida is the triumphant motion picture about an exceptional woman who lived an unforgettable life. A product of humble beginnings, Frida Kahlo earns fame as a talented artist with a unique vision. Frida chronicles the artist’s life, 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. Weaving in political upheavals and historical confrontations, Frida explores the fiery dynamic between Frida and Diego, and how that turmoil penetrated both their contributions to the world of art.

Starring: Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Edward Norton and Geoffrey Rush
