Frida

Here is a film that takes the suffering artist theme to the next level. Salma Hayek is fantastic as the hard drinking, chain smoking unibrowed Frida Kahlo and the praise she received for her work here is very well deserved. Superior acting all around with stunning work from Alfred Molina, Geoffrey Rush, Antonia Banderas, FRIDA is one of the finest biopics you will ever see. As it explores the art of Kahlo we have a rare glimpse into the technique of transforming pain and suffering to coloured canvas and it is highly unlikely Hayek will ever top the work she does here. Look ofr Didi Conn and Edward Norton as Nelson Rockefeller.
