The life and times of Mexican painter and 20th century icon Frida Kahlo, with Salma Hayek in the title role, focuses on Frida's
rocky and often abusive relationship with her husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), her bisexuality, medical problems and the drug
and alcohol abuse that killed her at age 47. Antonio Banderas co-stars as David Siqueiros, Rivera's rival in the Mexican art world, Ashley Judd is
Italian photographer Tina Modotti, Geoffrey Rush is Leon Trotsky, and Edward Norton is Nelson Rockefeller -- who famously contracted Rivera to paint
the lobby mural of Rockefeller Center, only to renege because it included a portrait of Lenin. Directed by Julie Taymor. [2:03 - R]
