Frida (2024, available March 14)

No, this is not the 2002 biographical drama Frida starring Salma Hayek as surrealist Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Instead, this is a new documentary about Kahlo directed by Carla Gutierrez that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. Documentary Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award. The official description of 2024’s Frida reads: “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.”
