Frida
Focus on the Documentary
An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo. Told through her own words for the very first time.
★★★★ The Guardian
Using only archival footage, photos and writings - with a through-line of the narrative directly from Kahlo’s own verse and the voices of those who loved her - this documentary crafts a truly full picture of the painter’s journey, weaving her paintings into the hallmarks of her life.
This is the first time Kahlo’s life is narrated by her own writing and the project does an incredible job of combining all of its visual and auditory elements to shape the narrative of the artist’s world.
The stories and emotions behind many of Kahlo’s works come clear into view and every thought behind the art is laid bare through the definitive intentions of the artist.
Kahlo’s works are even brought vividly to life by a beautifully lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable art.
