"Frida" should offer us an intimate, raw and magical journey through the life, mind and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo. For the first time, her story is told through her own words, drawn from her famous diary, letters, essays and interviews. This story is vividly brought to life by lyrical animation inspired by Frida Kahlo's unforgettableart. The film marks Carla Gutiérrez 's debut as a director. She attempts to highlight the reasons why the artist - and her art - remains as powerful as ever.
Covering over 40 years of the artist's life, the documentary is based on a variety of research materials, many of which have never been shown to the general public before. What is extraordinary about Kahlo's life and art is how her images have galvanized generations of admirers around the world, more than solidifying her status as a timelessmodern artist.
This documentary is the fruit of two years' intensive work during which Carla Gutiérrez and her team, most of whom are proudly Latin women, came together to create a singular cinematic experience that could never be an ordinary art history lesson. They paint a vivid portrait, enhanced by the magical realism befitting Frida Kahlo's remarkable life. Yet her voice remains supreme, a complex and powerful sound of multiple Fridas: fearless, seductive, defiant, vulnerable, tumultuous and wonderfully alive.
This work promises to be a profound and enriching exploration of one ofmodern art's most fascinating figures. With unprecedented access to Kahlo's writings and works,"Frida" should offer us a unique perspective on her life, art and unrivalled legacy.
Available on Prime Video from March 14, 2024, this documentary is an invitation to discover or rediscover Frida Kahlo, not only as an artist but also as a spiritual and cultural force, whose voice and vision continue to inspire and resonate around the world.
