"Frida"
1986
Directed by Paul Leduc

Told in surreal flashbacks reminiscent of her own canvasses, this film is a visual tribute to the spirit and determination of Frida Kahlo, who risked her life for her art and became one of the dominant painters of the 20th century.  Widely acclaimed, "Frida" remarkably captures the spirit and determination of the woman who made herself into a great artist, a cultural leader and political activist. With Ofelia Medina, Juan Jose Gurrola, Max Kerlow. Spanish with English subtitles. 108 minutes.
