Directed by the acclaimed Noah brothers, “Winter as Frida Kahlo” dives into the complex interplay of love, art, and betrayal that marked the Mexican artist’s life and is now set to explode onto the international film festival circuit.
Set against the backdrop of 1935, the film opens with a poignant scene at Frida Kahlo's funeral, revisiting the profound impacts of her relationships on her art and personal life. Cheyenne Rae Hernandez stars in a dual role, portraying both Frida Kahlo and her sister Cristina, whose affair with Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera, adds layers of complexity to the narrative. Her performance is guaranteed to turn heads wherever the film is shown.
Simon Palomares makes his presence felt in the role of Diego, who is always larger than life. A fresh perspective to the story is also provided by Daniel Schepisi as “The Bostonian’, a character that will keep audiences guessing as he intertwines the historical with the spiritual in a performance that underlines his brilliant versatility as an actor.
The film's rich visual and auditory experience is brought to life by an award-winning team. Nino Cotone's haunting score and Janina Buenaseda's extraordinary visual effects stamp the film with a biographical depth not seen in the genre before.
"This film is not just a recount of Frida's life but a reimagining of her emotional world," said Bramwell Noah, the film's writer and co-director. "We set out to capture the essence of her pain and passion, what made Frida the Frida who continues to stare down the world today as she did her own."
The year 2024 has seen a resurgence in the popularity of biopics, with “Winter as Frida Kahlo” setting itself apart through its innovative narrative structure and emotional depth. The film's release comes when audiences are increasingly drawn to stories with historical context and personal resonance.
The film also explores Kahlo's profound connection to her Mexican heritage, which influenced her vibrant, often surreal artistic style. These elements are woven into the storyline and art design, providing a fuller picture of Kahlo as an artist and a person.
"Every scene is crafted to reflect Frida's internal and external worlds, which were as colourful as they were dark," added Bramwell Noah.
As “Winter as Frida Kahlo” prepares to hit the screens, it promises to ignite discussions about artistic expression, identity, and resilience. The film pays homage to Frida Kahlo's legacy and introduces her life's story and art to a new generation.
