Frida

Julie Taymor directs this Oscar-winning biopic of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), focusing on her often rocky relationship with husband Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) and her controversial political and sexual reputation (she was a communist and an open bisexual). Kahlo struggled with pain and addiction following a debilitating accident and, later, the amputation of her right leg. But her vivid paintings speak of a life fully lived.
