00:30This accident led Frida Kahlo to spend a lot of time in bed and this is the beginning of
00:58the career of a great artist, but it is also the beginning of the deterioration of her
01:02body.
01:03It is in this period that she begins to paint.
01:28I have always said that Diego and Frida are like our first couple, our Adam and Eve,
01:39since that is where we really emerge as a culture.
01:58It was right here in New York when she was recognized for her first exhibition in 1938.
02:19The story of Frida Kahlo, the woman and the artist, is known, which is when all the
02:24Fridomania began.
02:43She chooses a dress that is not just a dress that she chooses by chance, it is a dress,
02:50she could have chosen any of the dresses that we have around the Mexican Republic,
02:58of different ethnic groups, but she chooses a dress that symbolizes a powerful woman,
03:04this dress comes from a matriarchy, from a society run by women.
03:10The construction of this dress is made up of a tocado, a short huipil and a long skirt.
03:16That means that when you see her in front of you, when the spectator is looking at her,
03:21she is editing because you are looking at her from the torso up, because all the decoration
03:26is concentrated here, the necklaces, and it distracts you from her injured legs and also
03:33from the injured body.
04:04Humor is deeper than song, and I think with Frida Kahlo you could say that is a very apt,
04:10I don't think without the tragedy of Frida you can have the humor and without the humor
04:15you can't have the tragedy, so this film is a real balancing point of those two natures
04:21of Frida Kahlo.
04:33Frida Kahlo is not a product.
05:03Frida Kahlo is not a brand.
05:04Frida Kahlo is an artist.
