Plot
Summary: "Frida" chronicles the
life Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek) shared unflinchingly
and openly with Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), as the
young couple took the art world by storm. From her
complex and enduring relationship with her mentor
and husband to her illicit and controversial affair
with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative and romantic
entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a bold
and uncompromising life as a political, artistic,
and sexual revolutionary.
Comments:
Salma
Hayek is terrific. This is a breakthrough film for
Salma Hayek. She is terrific as Frida, the 20th Century
Mexican artist whose bold art and passion for life
was only matched in intensity by the physical difficulties
she faced in life.
Hopefully
this role will enable Hayek to capture more serious
scripts in the future. To date, she had been cast
in "look how pretty I am" roles that featured
her considerable physical beauty rather than her acting
prowess. Here, she is convincing as the complex Frida
and demonstrates a real range as an actress. Her performance
comes at a time when Hollywood could really use a
beautiful actress who can actually act.
The
film itself is beautifully shot and manages to capture
early-20th Century Mexico in a romantic way. The communist
party subplots are amusing, particularly in our post-communism
world.
