A stunning deep dive into the life and work of the iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Frida – Viva la Vida celebrates the life and work of the iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, highlighting the two sides of her spirit: the fiercely independent woman, tormented by physical pain and love, and the pioneering artist of contemporary feminism.

A journey deep into the heart of Mexico, this captivating study interweaves interviews and reconstruction with Frida’s letters and diaries, and brings her paintings to the big screen from some of the most amazing museums in Mexico.

Narrated by Asia Argento, Frida – Viva la Vida is a stunning deep dive into Frida’s art of opposites and dualism – pain and pleasure, darkness and light, moon and sun, life in death and death in life.
