Review of Frida (2002) by Tina M — 03 May 2008
At one point during the film, Diego Rivera tells Frida Kahlo that while he can only paint what he sees, she paints from the heart. And so it is as it should be that Taymor's biopic of Frida's life is the landscape of Frida's heart rather than a straightforward telling of the events of her life.
Star/producer Salma Hayek and director Julie Taymor have infused Frida with a visual style unique and inherent to the titular character's paintings and in the process created a masterful work of art of their own.
Frida is a feast for the senses, the mind, and the soul.
