As the title “Life and Times” suggests, this documentary includes some history of the first half of the 20th century in Mexico, and the people who surrounded Frida’s life; it includes a little background on her parents, and her terrible health problems, starting with polio as a child, and later a horrific traffic accident that left her in pain for the rest of her life; biographer Hayden Herrera and Ken Burns were the consultants for this film, and it includes many interviews, some of which are a little flaky, and perhaps the most interesting and insightful are the clips with writer Carlos Fuentes.

Not that many of her works are shown, although we do see some pieces that are rarely seen; what I appreciate the most is the archival footage of Frida, the most memorable being of her on the scaffold while Diego Rivera is painting a mural commission in the U.S., sleek and petite in a black dress.
Frida’s love/obsession for Diego is documented, along with their tormented and tempestuous marriage-divorce-marriage, his many infidelities (even with her sister), as well as her own indiscretions.
Rita Moreno narrates the story well, with singer Lila Downs speaking the words of Frida from her journal, and the film ends with an auction at Christy’s, where a small self-portrait sells for $1,200,000.

Running time is approximately 85 minutes.
There’s no such thing as knowing too much about Frida. Thus, for her countless devotees, of which I am one, this was a must-see.
Every account of Frida brings out different facts. Thus, one must see or read them all. In Julie Taymor’s movie, Trotsky ends their affair to save his marriage, but here Frida breaks it off because she is bored with him. In the film, she has an exhibition in Mexico after she lost her leg, but here they say her leg was amputated after the exhibition. The movie implies that Frida had an affair with Andre’ Breton, but this documentary suggests she had an affair with Breton’s wife.
This film not only shows photographs and moving images of Frida and Diego, but there is a moving image of them in color. I didn’t realize she lived long enough to be filmed in color.
This film shows that many Latinos of this day (Fuentes, Monsivais) knew her. Rita Morena, a godmother of Latina celebrities, narrates this work.
This is the first and only PBS documentary on DVD that I’ve seen with Spanish subtitles. I am writing them today to let them know that all of their DVDs should have this option.
I thought the documentary would just re-hash things that I already knew, instead it just deepened and strengthen my love for Frida. May she continue to rest in peace!
