Frida: Viva la vida
Asia Argento
Frida: Viva la vida is a documentary that shows the two faces of this iconic artist. On the one hand, an icon of independence and feminine strength, struggling with pain and amorous disappointments; on the other, an artist liberated from all physical limitations. Over the years, Frida Kahlo has become an icon and her art has influenced artists from different fields.
Kahlo's image became iconic. The artist faced a life marked by suffering with determination and greed, but this is only one of the elements that make up her phenomenon. Frida Kahlo's art combines pain and strength, suffering and love. Asia Argento as narrator introduces the viewer to Frida's world made up of letters, diaries and private confessions. Divided into six stages, this is a journey into the heart of Mexico, filled with interviews, documents, reconstructions and Kahlo's extraordinary paintings.
