Duration: 2 hours

Biopic of the bold and controversial life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, whose forward-thinking artistic, political and sexual attitudes made her a cult figure.

Salma Hayek's Oscar-nominated performance traces the artist's lifelong, tempestuous relationship with her mentor Diego Rivera, along with her illicit affairs with Trotsky and various women.
