A film about the life and work of the Mexican-German painter, known for her portraits and self-portraits.
Often described as a magical realist, and with much of her work inspired by the folk art of Mexico, Frida Kahlo had a distinctive vision. A bold artist and a passionate woman, she has become one of the most mythologised figures of twentieth-century painting, almost a cult figure.
This intimate, inquiring look at her vibrant, colourful paintings and at her difficult life shows that, despite the tragedy, Frida Kahlo’s revolutionary art and spirit were all-conquering.
