What bothered me about the recent "Frida" movie, I realize now two weeks after seeing it, is how it converts the visual images of Kahlo's paintings into Kitsch. The paintings you see in the film are designed to be assimilated into the visual look of the film itself (as opposed to modelling the look of the flim after the paintings). The film is visually clever, inventive even, but in an ultimately cartoonish way. Contrast the surrealist film effects in Buñuel's "Tristana"--or even Hitchcock.
