Trailer

Desire, fear, rebellion: this portrait shows Frida Kahlo as a vulnerable fighter – raw, poetic, and full of inner images.

Synopsis

This biopic about Frida Kahlo invites viewers to immerse themselves emotionally in the quiet and abstract world of the world-famous artistic icon. It is about more than her life as an artist or wife of her great master Diego Rivera. It is a leap into the darkest depths of her pain, her fear, her love, and her decline. An intimate look! A journey through time and the history of the greatest Latin American artist of all time. Feelings and emotions under the skin that allow us to see all the colors, happiness, self-portraits, strength, and self-empowerment. FRIDA KAHLO by Nia Mesmo and Bernardo Tâmara is an experimental biopic that operates beyond classic narrative forms. It focuses on the artist's emotional perception and shows her not only as an icon of feminism and self-promotion, but as a human being with depths, fears, and desires. The lead actress won the Best Actress Award at the Merced Queer Film Festival, and the film was also nominated for Best Drama and Best International Film. It was also part of the Official Selection at the Paus Premieres Festival Manchester. Atmospheric images paint a portrait of a woman who resists with every breath she takes—against conventions, pain, and any form of stagnation.
