Frida 2024 Movie Review Trailer

 “I paint because I need to.” This revelation sets the stage for a captivating new documentary about Frida Kahlo (yes, another one), highlighting the incandescent brilliance of her words written by her. Through a fascinating voice-over, Kahlo narrates her own story, woven from letters, diaries and interviews, brought to life by Mexican theater actress Fernanda Echevarría del Rivero. The result is a raw and exhilaratingly intimate portrait.

From a young age, Kahlo was inherently rebellious. When she was a child, she questioned the priest about Mary's virginity. In college, she defied convention by wearing men's suits, exuding strikingly beautiful androgyny in old photographs. 

Director: Carla Gutierrez
Star: Frida Kahlo

After her came the accident that changed her life and almost claimed her life. At age 18, Kahlo was involved in a collision between a bus and a tram, and the railing passed through her body like a sword through a bull. Confined to a hospital bed for months, she found solace in painting; Her intensely autobiographical canvases captured the essence of her emotions and experiences.


Director Carla Gutiérrez delves into the controversy by animating some of Kahlo's works, infusing them with life. For example, her hair in “Self-Portrait with Short Hair” appears to flutter to the floor, a depiction that has sparked debate among Kahlo enthusiasts. However, one wonders: does it overcome the trivialization of her work seen on the tea towels?


The documentary delves into a compelling section where Kahlo recounts her journey out of Diego Rivera's shadow, akin to a manifesto of her independence. After a devastating miscarriage, she became obsessed with “starting over” and depicting the world “without anyone else's eyes.” Kahlo frankly regretted having invested her best years in a man and eventually divorced Rivera. Even when he asked for reconciliation, she imposed two conditions: joint financial responsibility and a vow of celibacy between them, after enduring her epic infidelities.


With each revelation, Kahlo's complexity and resilience shine through. She battles chronic pain while she exudes searing sensuality in her love letters. She shows no mercy to her enemies, particularly the surrealists, and she punctuates her speech with colorful language. During a visit to New York, where Rivera is adored by the art world elite, Kahlo punctures her ego with a biting wit: “Diego is a big shit here.”
