Frida Kahlo was an artist with a famous life full of tragedies, scandalous love affairs and a relationship with her notorious husband Diego Rivera.
She became known as a sexual and political revolutionary and a symbol for women’s outspokenness and bravery.
In the movie, Frida is played by Salma Hayek who was nominated for the Academy Award for the role. The film won two Oscars (for Best Music and Best Makeup).
Colorful interiors, amazing acting and the artistic surrealist scenes make this move exceptional.
