Frida

"Frida" is an intimate and visually stunning documentary that brings Mexican painter Frida Kahlo's life to vivid animation and sound design. Drawing from her own writings, diary entries, letters, and interviews, the film chronicles her pivotal moments, including her devastating accident, complicated relationship with Diego Rivera, and affair with Leon Trotsky. With Fernanda Echevarría del Rivero narrating Frida's words and Carla Gutierrez bringing it to life through animation inspired by her artwork, this documentary is a visceral and intimate look at Kahlo's vast changing senses of human desire, the state of the world in the twentieth century, and her artistry.
