This is primarily a narration that could have been redone in English. There isn't any "dubbing" required (there are a few Spanish speaking persons interviewed in which subtitles are applicable). However, the screen consists primarily of Frida's art and photographs that you can't satisfactorily enjoy because you are busy reading the subtitles.

A wonderful movie about a famed relationship between opposites who were simply meant for each other. If it were a book I'd be writing that I couldn't put it down. The visual treat was just as delicious as the dialogue and the music, not to mention the historical aspect. I was entranced by it all as the movie whisked me away to an earlier time in a place foreign yet familiar.

The love story of Frida and Diego was masterly played by the two main characters. Each was definitely the strength that inspired the other in their art. My only critique of the movie was in having to hear the non-Spanish language cast attempt a Spanish accent when speaking English. Short of using mostly all Spanish actors perhaps this was unavoidable. The accents sounded okay until you heard those of Frida (played by Salma Hayek) or Antonio Banderas's character or any of the native Spanish speaking actors/actresses. It was like tasting honey in your first cup of tea, then having someone add a sugar substitute like sweet and low in your second cup. You still had a sweetness in your brew but the natural sweetener was noticeably missing.

Frida Kahlo, a free thinking woman in love with a free loving man. A must movie for women and men who wonder why they stay in relationships after hurting one another so cruelly. It begs the question, what will you give up for love?

I am a teacher. I have used this book in the past as a lesson spin-off but it has been out of print and I coupldn't find it. I was thrilled to find a used copy very inexpensively. This was well worth the price. Thank you
