Special presentation in conjunction with the exhibition Frida: The Making of an Icon

Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayak) was able to channel the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage to Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) into her art. Directed by Julie Taymor, this film explores Kahlo’s complex and enduring relationship with Rivera, illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, and provocative and romantic entanglements with women. Frida is recently named to the National Film Library of the Library of Congress.
