DVD Reviews of Frida
DVD Review: Film making at it's best.
Summary: 5 Stars
Frida is a film to be enjoyed with all your senses. The acting, the directing, the music and the costumes are fabulous. A highly recommended viewing.DVD Review: Frida the Artist, Revolutionary and "Real" person!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was truly a remarkable movie for me. Loved it and each time I watch it I learn a little more about "human nature". Selma was magnificent in this movie.
Based on a real life character and her ambitions.... "not" to give up and to be her own person. I loved this movie, but some may not approve of all the subject matter. Recommended for open-minded viewer.
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great movie that keep me interested througout it's entirety. I was however, disappointed that it didn't have the option for Spanish audio (French???), although it did have Spanish subtitles. viva la revolucionDVD Review: HAYEK'S BEST PERFORMANCE
Summary: 5 Stars
Julie Taymor's visually stunning film on Frida is almost as beautiful as Kahlo's art, and Hayek's performance as the strong-willed artist is the best of her career. The soundtrack, and cinematography are glorious. I enjoyed it almost as much as an old bio-pic classic called LUST FOR LIFE ( with Kirk Douglas as Vincent Van Gogh ), and a bit more than POLLOCK ( with Ed Harris ). Alfred Molina as Mexico's greatest artist, Diego Rivera, is, as usual, superb. DVD Review: A Wonderful Tribute to Frida Kahlo
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a number of years to finally rent and watch this film. I can only say that it was extremely well done, from the acting to the film score to the sets and the photography. The cast and crew of this movie - especially Salma Hayek and director Julie Taymor - deserve enormous praise for creating a film both masterful and compelling, in its story of this brilliant and talented woman. I had read that Ms. Hayek had spent a number of years trying to get this movie made. She did a wonderful job of bringing Frida Kahlo to the silver screen. I cannot imagine anyone else doing a better job of telling Frida's story to the rest of the world. This movie should be required viewing of every studio art major and aspiring artist.
Description of Frida
Nominated for six 2002 Academy Awards(R), including Salma Hayek for Best Actress, FRIDA is the triumphant motion picture about an exceptional woman who lived an unforgettable life! A product of humble beginnings, Frida Kahlo (Hayek) earns fame as a talented artist with a unique vision. And from her enduring relationship with her mentor and husband, Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina -- CHOCOLAT), to her scandalous affairs, Frida's uncompromising personality would inspire her greatest creations! Also starring Antonio Banderas (SPY KIDS), Ashley Judd (KISS THE GIRLS), Edward Norton (RED DRAGON), and Geoffrey Rush (QUILLS).Salma Hayek makes up for many bad movies with her fierce performance in this sumptuous film. Hayek plays the Mexican surrealist painter Frida Kahlo, whose tempestuous life with her unfaithful husband, muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), drives the story of Frida. Maverick director Julie Taymor (Titus, the Broadway stage production of The Lion King) pulls out a wealth of gorgeous visuals to capture everything from the horrific bus accident that damaged Kahlo's spine to her and Rivera's trip to New York City, where Rivera's political leanings ruptured a commission from the Rockefeller family. Though the script spends too much time telling us how great Frida's painting is (rather than trusting in the power of the images themselves), Taymor's dynamic energy and Kahlo's forceful personality give Frida genuine emotional impact. The superb cast includes Roger Rees, Valeria Golino, Ashley Judd, Geoffrey Rush, Antonio Banderas, and Edward Norton. --Bret Fetzer
