Synopsis: Frida (2002)
Synopis: This film tells the true story of Mexican painter and 20th century icon Frida Kahlo (Hayek), focusing on her often rocky relationship with husband Diego Rivera (Molina), and their place in Mexican society. Included in the mix will be David Siqueiros (Banderas), Rivera's rival in the Mexican art world, Tina Modotti (Judd), a famed Italian photographer, and Nelson Rockefeller (Norton), who famously contracted Rivera to paint the lobby mural of Rockefeller Center, only to renege because it included a portrait of Lenin. Others in their social circle included Russian leader and refugee Leon Trotsky (Rush) (soon before Stalin had him assassinated there), muralist Jean Charlot, painter Pablo O'Higgins, composer Silvestre Revueltas, and photographer Edward Weston. In addition to being a great artist, Frida Kahlo was also a bisexual and a communist, struggling with an abusive husband, a life of wracking pain following a trolley accident, the amputation of a leg, and finally, drug and alcohol abuse that killed her at age 47.Features: Frida (2002)

, June 14, 2003Reviewer: Hey y - See all Hey y's reviews2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Frida review helpful This movie is the story of Frida, a young painter who has a lot of great and tragic things happen in her life. Crippled in a Bus accident when she is very young, Frida shruggled to regain her indipendence. She falls in love with a famous Playboy/Painter and travels all over the world with and without him. She is in constant pain but is always finding joy in life. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CHIC FLICK!! I REPEAT NOT A CHIC FLICK!! This movie is very funny very sexy and very romantic the chicks will love that. but its great for guys too becasue its anything but boring. I suggest to any guy to rent this to watch with your girl on a Friday night. It will have them laughing and crying. Plus you'll get bonus points for picking an artsy and mushy movie all at the same time!! Bottom line: Rent or buy this movie you will not be disappointed. And if you are you're a dumbass
P.S dont let the kids watch this one ...
