‘The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo’

“Through the prism of Frida Kahlo’s life and art, this documentary explores the ancient culture of Mexico; the Mexican Revolution; the wildfire of communism that burned through Latin America in the 1920s and ’30s; the painters, photographers, filmmakers, writers, and poets who congregated in Mexico City; and the revival of interest in popular culture for which Kahlo has become a symbol.” So says the National Hispanic Cultural Center, 1701 Fourth SW, which will screen the film at 7 tonight in the Bank of America Theatre. It’s a free, ticketed event. Tickets available an hour before the show.
