The film directed by Julie Taymor (2002) is a tribute to life as a praise existence was the very life of Frida Kahlo .
Mexican painter born, according to his account in 1910 with the revolution, will remain the victim during her youth, a bus accident. An iron handrail pierced the basin forcing her to penalties for unruly life.
It is during his convalescence, immobilized in bed, he will devote to painting. When he manages to lean back down to earth, will travel with his work by the painter Diego Rivera . Stimato e politicizzato artista del tempo, Diego riconoscerà subito la novità del talento espresso nelle sue opere naif, colorate, intime e surreali e la accoglierà sotto la propria ala.
Nel 1929 i due si sposeranno e il loro sarà un sodalizio di pieno amore, arte, e reciproci tradimenti. Le biografie la raccontano amante del rivoluzionario russo Lev Trotsky, del poeta André Breton e della fotografa e militante comunista Tina Modotti.
Tratto dalla biografia di Hayden Herrera , Frida è un biopic attento e realistico nel suo surrealismo, perché realistica e surreale allo stesso tempo è stata the existence of this magnificent artist.
A life taken head-on. Even at the risk of fatally injuring a long and slow death. A death in the end, seems to be the source of attachment to life, like an ongoing challenge as revenge against one who will still be the winner already decreed.
The director chooses to tell the biography of the artist regularly punctuating the film with fascinating images of his works. Images that come to life and how to relate better to describe the inner state of a woman throughout his personal and collective existence.
A film to see before you die.
