Customer Reviews of The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo
A fascinating documentary on Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists of all time. Her haunting self-portraits are some of the most unforgettable images that I have ever seen. Frida's piercing gaze and brilliant use of colors makes for a wicked combination. I first saw "The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo" on PBS a couple of months ago but I didn't see it in its entirety. After seeing the Julie Taymor film, I had to rent the documentary to get a better grasp of the enigmatic artist. <

>I loved Rita Moreno's narration. Rita was the perfect narrator. I also loved Lila Downs as Frida. The history of Frida is far from boring to say the very least. Her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera is a soap opera's dream come true. What I found so interesting is the stories behind her paintings. The pain she went through to create the vivid, intimate, and often graphic images of the sorrow, pain, and anger she was experiencing. I found the documentary much more compelling than the biopic of the artist although the performances in the film were wonderful. This documentary is worth viewing for anyone who loved the Julie Taymor biopic.
perfect for Fridalcoholics
There's no such thing as knowing too much about Frida. Thus, for her countless devotees, of which I am one, this was a must-see.

<
>Every account of Frida brings out different facts. Thus, one must see or read them all. In Julie Taymor's movie, Trotsky ends their affair to save his marriage, but here Frida breaks it off because she is bored with him. In the film, she has an exhibition in Mexico after she lost her leg, but here they say her leg was amputated after the exhibition. The movie implies that Frida had an affair with Andre' Breton, but this documentary suggests she had an affair with Breton's wife.

<
>This film not only shows photographs and moving images of Frida and Diego, but there is a moving image of them in color. I didn't realize she lived long enough to be filmed in color.

<
>This film shows that many Latinos of this day (Fuentes, Monsivais) knew her. Rita Morena, a godmother of Latina celebrities, narrates this work.

<
>This is the first and only PBS documentary on DVD that I've seen with Spanish subtitles. I am writing them today to let them know that all of their DVDs should have this option.

>I thought the documentary would just re-hash things that I already knew, instead it just deepened and strengthen my love for Frida. May she continue to rest in peace!
Loved seeing her move
I'm a huge Frida fan, and while this documentary skims over a lot of information, it offers priceless video footage of the living, breathing Frida. I'm very happy to add this to my collection of Frida paraphanalia. I only wish this had included video footage with sound so I could hear her voice.

>A very nice piece of the puzzle that is Frida Kahlo.
