Frida is a 2002 Academy Award-winning film which depicts the life of the surrealist painter Frida Kahlo and portrays the personal life of the Mexican artist. It stars Salma Hayek in her Academy Award nominated portrayal as Frida Kahlo and Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera.

The movie was adapted by Clancy Sigal, Diane Lake, Gregory Nava, Anna Thomas and Edward Norton (uncredited) from the book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera. It was directed by Julie Taymor and the original music score was composed by Elliot Goldenthal.
