"Ms. Cardona..brings the depths of Frida's volcanic, tortured personality to life..and reveals both pain and astonishing strength"
Product Description
'Frida Kahlo: A Ribbon Around A Bomb' is a critically accalaimed documentary film based on the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The film is a fascinating portrait of Frida Kahlo the artist and human being. Poetry, music, excerpts from Teatro Dallas' production of Abraham Oceransky's play 'The Diary of Frida Kahlo', interviews with Kahlo's students and friends, and most importantly, her artwork weave throughout the film, transcending straight biography to create a passionate, impressionistic look at an artist whose life and work, both tragic and triumphant, increasingly speak to the sensibilities of today. Frida is, as one woman artist put it, "the perfect woman for our time".
