Frida: Viva la Vida
Documentary on Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, looking at the woman - fiercely independent and tormented by love - and artist - free from the leashes of her physical bounds. Presented by Asia Argento.
Showcases Kahlo's masterpieces in some of the Mexico's most extraordinary museums, and takes a deep dive into her art of opposites and dualism - pain and pleasure, darkness and light, moon and sun, life in death and death in life.

- Asia Argento
