DVD Reviews of Frida Kahlo - La Cinta que Envuelve una Bomba (The Ribbon That Ties the Bomb)
DVD Review: A Radical For Her Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen a few movies about Frida Kahlo in my time, but this short documentary has been the best so far. It gets down to the facts about her life quickly. It reveals more about her life, growing up in the midst of the Mexican Revolution, her terrible bus accident in 1925 that nearly chopped her in half. At age 21 she joins the Communist party and meets the famous muralist Diego Rivera. It talks about her affairs with women and Leon Trotsky. How her love for Diego was special and went beyond infidelity since they divorced and remarried (although kept separate quarters). She was willing to accept that he was a womanizer, and he just cared for her too much so they learned to make the best out of their unusual relationship/marriage.
What I found interesting was that she mentions in the documentary that she did not think she was painting art intentionally, but only what she was feeling. As her pain (emotional and physical) progressed her art became better. Salvador Dali was the one that told her she was a "surrealist", and gave her a special set of earrings of some little hands.
Eventually she begins to drink to curb her pain, and they amputate the leg that was affected with polio as a child. When she expired at the age of 47 in 1954, they claimed it was a form of pulmonary disease, but others say it was most likely an overdose of painkillers.
I recommend this documentary if you are a Frida fan, because so far it seems to be the most accurate. I have been avoiding the new Hollywood production with Selma Hayek, since it got bad reviews and there is supposed to be too much unnecessary nudity.
This dvd is in Spanish with English subtitles, and it did loose some during the translation as I was listening and trying to read at the same time.
