	Frida (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Frida Kahlo was a woman who endured a life of crippling pain caused by a trolley accident in her youth, yet her innate energy, passion and love of life - as well as her enormous abilities as a painter - allowed her to overcome that daunting obstacle to achieve a measure of fame and recognition.
		Frida, in many ways, prides herself on her independent, fiery nature, yet when Rivera becomes a part of her life, she quickly succumbs to his seductive charms.
		We empathize with Frida because she functions as such a compelling figure in the context of the story, but we are never allowed to forget that she is a flawed human being, as capable of making a mess of her life as any of the men who generally occupy the lead position in these stories.

		A simple moment, as a young Frida approaches the building where Diego is working, is striking in the juxtaposition of the flaming red of Kahlo's blouse against a pale yellow church and pastel blue sky, as caught by the eye of cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto ("Amores Perros").

		Frida is a gorgeous looking film that intersperses its conventional narrative with surreal and imaginative touches, yet is reluctant to give us more than a conventional film version of a Greatest Hits album, compressing events of 47 years into a two-hour biopic that is mostly surface veneer.
		Hayek looks like Frida in her colourful Mexican dresses with heavy necklaces and braids wrapped around her head but the psychology of her art and the political issues that she cared about are presented only in a very superficial manner.
		Frida was hospitalised for nine months in 1950 and had her right leg amputated in 1953 as a result of gangrene.

		Above the headboard is a painting of a dead child (Frida was unable to bear children) and at the foot of the bed a photo assemblage of Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Engels and Mao (both Riveras flirted with communism).

		She doesn't make the mistake of getting too actressy in "Frida"; she knows her strong suit is her ability to toss off a line like an old-time I-don't-care girl, and those instincts inform even her most serious dramatic scenes, keeping them believable and real.
		As a young teenager Kahlo was involved in a trolley accident in which her vagina was pierced by a steel rod, leaving her in intense pain for the rest of her life.
		"Frida" is a movie about a marriage between equals -- one an outsize painter who painted on some pretty outsize walls, the other an artist who worked on a much smaller scale but who, as Rivera himself put it, painted expansively, from the inside out.

		FRIDA, with Salma Hayek in the title role, is a vibrant celebration of the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), and an unsparing look at her tumultuous, passionate marriage to the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina).
		My only picky-picky complaint about FRIDA is its treatment of Kahlo's physical condition after the horrific 1925 bus accident that left her with multiple fractures of her pelvis, spine, ribs and leg, and which necessitated over 30 follow-up operations in her lifetime.
		Frida is played exquisitely so as to truly convey the artists story, compassion, intelligence and great love and understanding of her own culture.
