Frida Kahlo remains one of the world’s most beloved artists—an enduring icon whose unmistakable face is known across generations. But who was the woman behind the bold colors, floral crowns, and famous brows? Drawing on Kahlo’s own letters, this film traces the artist’s rebellious, passionate, and turbulent life while offering a close look at the paintings that made her a legend. Combining expert commentary with rare access to Kahlo’s home, studio, and personal archive, this intimate portrait illuminates the resilience, creativity, and fierce spirit that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Returning to theaters in May 2026 by popular demand, this award-winning film features new material from the curators of the major exhibition “Frida Kahlo: The Making of an Icon,” on view at London’s Tate Modern this summer.
