12) Frida (2002)
Trending
It is a biographical piece about an accomplished Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, portrayed by Salma Hayek. It is a chronicle of her troubled journey, like her life before marrying the equally renowned artist Diego Rivera, whose tumultuous relationship was an art revolution that flourished despite all this. It shows her bodily pain due to a severe accident and her hard-won identity as a woman and as an artist in a patriarchal society. The film is full of her fantastic and surreal paintings that, incontestably, express her emotions and experiences. The movie is amazingly captured through some stirring visual imagery and a passionate portrayal of Kahlo's doughty perseverance, ingenuity, and longevity as the icon of feminism and self-expression.
