Frida Kahlo

She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage.

Inspired by an exclusive interview and performance footage of Chavela Vargas shot in 1991 and guided by her unique voice, the film weaves an arresting portrait of a woman who dared to dress, speak, sing, and dream her unique life into being.

An unconventional portrait of painter Frida Kahlo and photographer Tina Modotti. Simple in style but complex in its analysis, it explores the divergent themes and styles of two contemporary and radical women artists working in the upheaval of the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.

Фрида Кало - знаменитая мексиканская женщина-художник, мастер сюрреализма, жена известного мексиканского живописца Диего Риверы. Сближало двух художников не только искусство, но и общие политические убеждения - коммунистические. Их бурная совместная жизнь стала легендой. Фрида часто пристально глядит на зрителя со своих картин. Ни на одном автопортрете она не улыбается
