An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind, and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo, Frida is told through her own words for the very first time, drawn from her famed illustrated diary, revealing letters, essays, and candid print interviews — and brought vividly to life by lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable artwork. The feature film directorial debut of acclaimed editor Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, La Corona), Frida posits a striking context as to why the artist – and her art -- remains as powerful as ever.

Covering more than 40 years of her life, the filmmakers received unrestricted access to research materials, much never shown to the general public before. What is extraordinary about Kahlo's life and art is how her images would galvanize multiple generations of admirers worldwide, doing more than solidifying her status as a modern artist of timeless import.

An intensive journey spanning two years, Gutiérrez and her formidable team of artisans, most of whom are women and proudly Latine, gathered together to craft a singular cinematic experience that could be no ordinary art history lesson. A living portrait emboldened by the magical realism befitting Kahlo's remarkable life emerges. Yet, her voice ultimately stands supreme, a complex and powerful sound of a multitude of Fridas: fearless, seductive, defiant, vulnerable, raucous, and wonderfully alive.

★★★★ ‘A beguiling and rather beautiful tribute to her spirit and originality’ The Observer

Mae Frida, siwrnai hudolus ddi-flewyn-ar-dafod drwy fywyd, meddwl a chalon yr artist eiconig Frida Kahlo, yn cael ei hadrodd trwy ei geiriau ei hun mewn ffilm am y tro cyntaf, yn seiliedig ar ei dyddiadur darluniadol enwog, ei llythyrau dadlennol, traethodau, a chyfweliadau print agored a gonest - ac yn dod yn fyw drwy animeiddiad telynegol a ysbrydolwyd gan ei gwaith celf bythgofiadwy. Frida yw'r ffilm nodwedd gyntaf sydd wedi'i chyfarwyddo gan y golygydd clodfawr Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, La Corona), ac mae’n cyflwyno cyd-destun trawiadol i esbonio pam mae'r artist - a'i chelf - yn parhau mor bwerus ag erioed.

Gan gwmpasu deugain mlynedd a mwy o'i bywyd, cafodd y gwneuthurwyr ffilm fynediad anghyfyngedig at ddeunyddiau ymchwil, na welwyd yn gyhoeddus erioed o'r blaen. Yr hyn sy'n rhyfeddol am fywyd a chelf Kahlo yw sut y byddai ei delweddau'n ysgogi sawl cenhedlaeth o edmygwyr ledled y byd, gan wneud mwy na chadarnhau ei statws fel artist modern oesol bwysig.

Dros siwrnai ddwys o ddwy flynedd, daeth Gutiérrez a'i thîm aruthrol o grefftwyr, y rhan fwya'n fenywod a Latinos balch, at ei gilydd i greu profiad sinematig unigryw sy'n llawer mwy na gwers hanes celf gyffredin. Mae portread byw wedi'i gryfhau gan realaeth hudol sy'n gweddu i fywyd rhyfeddol Kahlo yn dod i'r amlwg. Ac eto, ei llais hi sydd drechaf yn y pen draw, sain gymhleth a phwerus sawl Frida: di-ofn, hudolus, herfeiddiol, bregus, afreolus, a rhyfeddol o fyw.
