Abstract
This essay examines the film Frida (2002) as historical cinema. It analyzes the portrayal of the artist Frida Kahlo and her relationship with the muralist Diego Rivera against several backdrops: an earlier biopic (Frida, Naturaleza Viva), the work's relation to what ‘really' happened, the film's internal narrative logic, and the usual representation of Mexico in US cinema.
