Nominated for six Oscars, this English-language biopic about celebrated 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo stars Salma Hayek in the title role. Frida's husband was legendary Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), and together they were Marxist bohemians who led tumultuous lives. Both had extramarital lovers, and Frida's included Russian leader Leon Trotsky (Geoffrey Rush) and entertainer Josephine Baker. Famous historical figures appearing in the movie include photographer Tina Modotti (Ashley Judd) and painter David Alfaro Siqueiros (Antonio Banderas). The film also deals with Nelson Rockefeller (Edward Norton) having Rivera's Rockefeller Center mural destroyed. The movie centers around Frida's troubled marriage, but also gives some insight into her painting.
