Frida

Frida is a 2002 American biographical drama film directed by Julie Taymor about the surrealist Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's professional and domestic life. The film, which starred Salma Hayek in an Academy Award-nominated performance as Kahlo and Alfred Molina as her husband, Diego Rivera, was adapted by Clancy Sigal, Diane Lake, Gregory Nava, Anna Thomas, Antonio Banderas, and unofficially by Edward Norton from Hayden Herrera's 1983 book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo. Frida earned mostly excellent reviews from reviewers and went on to win two Academy Awards for Best Makeup and Best Original Score out of six nominations.

When Salma Hayek dies, the part she will be remembered for as Frida Kahlo in director Julie Taymor's exquisite biopic Frida will be her most celebrated and remembered. Taymor, a theatrical great, adds her own sensibility to the turbulent life of painter and icon Frida Kahlo, who is powerfully portrayed by Hayek. The film does an excellent job of depicting how Kahlo's turbulent life was channeled to great effect in her work, portraying the artist as a feminine revolutionary who smashed taboos throughout her career.
