Story Overview

Frida (2002) tells the powerful and visually rich story of iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, portrayed with striking intensity by Salma Hayek. The film explores Kahlo’s life through her art, pain, passion, and uncompromising individuality, presenting her not only as a groundbreaking painter but also as a fiercely political and sexually liberated woman.

At the emotional core of the narrative lies Frida’s turbulent marriage to renowned muralist Diego Rivera. Their relationship—marked by deep love, betrayal, creative rivalry, and mutual admiration—shapes both Kahlo’s personal life and artistic evolution. As Frida struggles with lifelong physical suffering following a devastating accident, her art becomes a mirror of her inner world, transforming pain into visual poetry.

Set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary Mexico and international artistic circles, Frida captures the intersections of art, politics, and identity. The film stands as an intimate portrait of a woman who defied conventions, embraced contradictions, and ultimately forged an enduring legacy through uncompromising self-expression.
