0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Y ella es flama que se eleva
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Y es un pajaro a volar
0:00:12 > 0:00:19# En la noche que se incendia
0:00:20 > 0:00:25# El infierno es este cielo... #
0:00:30 > 0:00:36This programme contains some strong language
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Arriba! Arriba, arriba, arriba!
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Vamos!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Careful, guys.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32This corpse is still breathing.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Uh!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Try to get me there in one piece.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Hello, Professor.- Hello, Frida.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Diego Rivera is back in the auditorium! - Who cares?- With a naked woman.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Shh...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Why is this whore still here? Huh?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Tell me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Tell me, mi amor.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14- Are you planning to have her after lunch, or have you fucked her already?- Lupe, please don't start.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18You think I don't know what's going on, you must think I'm an idiot!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- I can't work like this.- Yes, you can. Your food and your slut.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That's all you need to paint your pinche murals!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Hey! Get out!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28And don't come home and give me one of your speeches
0:03:28 > 0:03:31about the artist and the people and your fucking revolution!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34You only care about yourself, you piece of shit!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Ah, so much for lunch. Although...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I could eat you, perhaps.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I've eaten female flesh before, yes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Wrapped up in...tortillas.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10It tastes like...the tenderest young...pig.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Watch out, Diego! Lupe's coming back!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Fucking punks!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Come on, you little anarchists!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Come and light one of your firecrackers if you dare!- Let's go.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Frida...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Just keeping you honest, panzon.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Panzon...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Do I look fat to you?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Shh!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07THEY GASP AND MOAN
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Shh!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Here you are.- Gracias.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Frida, we found the most beautiful fabric for my wedding dress today.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Fantastic.- It cost a fortune.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Mama?- Yes?- Are these ripe?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00They should be, let me see.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes, they're fine. Just need a day or two.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Maybe you'll get married too, one day.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09One can only hope.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Lunch is almost ready.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Go get the artist.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I love this one...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20It's beautiful.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I like it, too.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26They're busy with the wedding.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Cristina is so excited about her dress.- Good.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Everyone should be excited when they get married.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I suppose - if that's what you want.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40And, er...what do you want?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I don't know.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I just don't think that marriage is for everyone.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Well, you need a good reason to do it, just like with anything else.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55What do you think matters most for a good marriage?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57A short memory.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Why did you get married, Papa?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I can't remember.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So I could have you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Concentrate, everybody. - Wait, where is Frida?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Adriana, go tell your sister to hurry up.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I always wanted a son.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40And now Matilde, everyone, eyes to the camera and...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Come on, we'll miss our bus.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Oh!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Frida!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15How much is the calaca?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Frida, come on!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- The bus!- We'll take the next one.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25No, no, no! Come, come, come!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Watch out... Hey! Hey!
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Anyway, I just don't think he's completely apolitical, that's all.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That's because you read it after you read Marx.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47You always read things in the wrong order.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50That's ridiculous. Why should it matter what order you read it in?
0:08:50 > 0:08:55If you have already read Marx, of course Hegel is going to seem political,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59but the truth is the idea of history as a dialectic just predicts Marx...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Is that gold? Real gold?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07For the ceiling of the opera house.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09HORN BLARES
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Move it!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19HORN BLARES
0:09:22 > 0:09:24TYRES SQUEAL
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Your brake!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49The spinal column was broken, as were the collarbone and two ribs.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The pelvis is broken in three places.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55The metal rod entered the right side of the body and came out the vagina.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The right leg has 11 fractures, and the foot was crushed.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Will she ever walk again?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Let's make sure she lives first.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Is Alex alive?- Frida! - Is he all right?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37He was hurt, but not terribly.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40He was here yesterday when you were not awake.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And Mama?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- It was too much for them. They are at home.- How long have I been here?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Three weeks.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08We're almost there.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Gently, now.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- There is nothing left to spend. - I will sell some of my equipment.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50For another operation that probably won't work?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52No. Listen.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Maybe this time it will work.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56And then how will you make money?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I'll...paint portraits again.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Admit it, Guillermo.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04She'll never walk again.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Go on in, Alex. She's waiting for you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Hello, ugly.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30They're beautiful.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- How do you feel? - Like I've been hit by a bus.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- SHE LAUGHS - Come on, silly. Come, come.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Come sit with me. Look.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's my only good angle at the moment.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44No, it's not.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I like you this way.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You're easier to keep up with.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Spengler, because you love him.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Schopenhauer because it's good for you.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Oh, Alex.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12You know I adore you. I've missed you so much.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21I told the doctor the handrail had taken my virginity.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And I'm sure he believed you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You know,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31when I get out of this cast,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I'm going to show you a couple of things I still remember from before.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39What?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46My aunt and my uncle are leaving for Europe, and...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49..they've invited me to come along.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But that's wonderful.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55When would you leave?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Soon.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Next week.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03How long will you be gone?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06They're going for two months,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08and afterwards I might stay on at the Sorbonne.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I will be staying on.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Did I tell you that I'm going to walk again?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Do you believe it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Of course I do.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35You'd better.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Because you're going to miss it. - Frida...
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I want you to leave before I finish this butterfly.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35How are you feeling?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39How am I feeling?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I can't even remember what it felt like before the pain.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- Isn't that horrible? - Dr Farril is coming on Monday.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53He is bringing a back specialist, Dr Cervantes.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59I feel like some rich girl with a new suitor every week.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04But all my suitors have turned into doctors.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06And I'm not a rich girl, Papa.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14How come you never ask me about my plans any more? Hm?
0:17:14 > 0:17:19You used to always say, "Tell me your plans, Frida."
0:17:21 > 0:17:24What are your plans, Frida?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Right now I'm a burden.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32But I hope to be a self-sufficient cripple one day.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34After that, I don't know.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You are not a burden...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39my love.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43See, here...
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We have something for you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Matilde, come.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- We noticed that there was no more room left on your cast...- Oh!
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Now you look like a gringa movie star.- Let me see.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- It's too much money...- Mama, Papa.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I have a surprise.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Careful, now!- Don't worry. Don't worry. It's all right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Aaaaaah!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I need the ochre.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Is it ready?- Almost.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57No, now. I need it now.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Senor Rivera?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Diego!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Who are you? What do you want?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I have something important to discuss with you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I'm working.- I'll wait.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I don't have time to chat with schoolgirls.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I'm not a schoolgirl, panzon.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK. Come on up here.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35No. You come down.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- What?- Look, I didn't come here for fun or to flirt.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I've done some paintings which I want you to look over professionally,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and I need an absolutely straightforward opinion of my work.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- You were that girl in the auditorium.- Yes, I was,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12but that has nothing to do with now.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I just want your serious opinion. - What do you care about my opinion?
0:22:15 > 0:22:21If you're a real painter, you'll paint because you can't live without it. You'll paint until you die, OK?
0:22:21 > 0:22:26I have to work to earn a living, so I don't have time to fool around just for vanity.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30If I'm not good enough, I have to do something else to help my parents.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Leave the best one here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Go home and paint another one. If this one's any good, I'll come and look at that one on my day off.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Orozco is a true artist. He's tremendous.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55And Siqueiros could be great if he'd pull his head out of his own ass and look around.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Comrade Rivera.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34What a nice surprise.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47What if I told you that
0:23:47 > 0:23:51easel painting like yours is finished,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55that it's headed for the trash like other elitist, bourgeois pastimes?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'd say cut the propaganda.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03This is very good work.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- You have real talent.- Oh, come on.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I'm not looking for your compliments.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I want a serious critique.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14But I'm being sincere.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17These are very original paintings,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19none of the usual tricks.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22But that's not specific.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You have to trust a true compliment as much as a critique.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Yeah, well, some people have told me not to trust what you say.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36They say if a girl asks your opinion, and she's not a complete fright, you'll gush all over her.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I need you to tell me one thing, honestly.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Do you actually believe that I should continue to paint?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yes.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Yes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04You'll like Tina. She's a brilliant photographer, one of the few with real taste.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Do you know Alvarez Bravo?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I know his work. It's good.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I'll introduce you to him. He'll want to photograph you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Without clothes, of course. - Of course!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19That's the thing about these radicals.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23They're a little dangerous, but they definitely throw the best parties.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Ah, at last! Il monstro!- Tina!
0:25:31 > 0:25:35This is Frida Kahlo. She's a wonderful painter.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38She wants to be a wonderful painter.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Don't be shy. Nobody really thinks their own stuff is good except Diego. He's the only one who's sure.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Go find Siqueiros. He's been bad-mouthing you again.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49You come with me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Great party.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Everybody, I have someone for you to meet. This is Frida Kahlo.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01She came with Diego. Another pretty girl...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20She's quite a talent, no?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Julio Mella, the Cuban.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Tina took the last photo of him.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29She was with him on the street when they gunned him down.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32LAUGHTER
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Incredible.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37They're like clay in his hands.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- It must be that body.- No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's the way he looks at you...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and finds beauty in all your imperfections.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's irresistible.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53You'd never think it to look at him, but he's had half the women here.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'm sorry. Did you come with him?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, no...we're just friends.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I'm Frida Kahlo. I'm a painter.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04A painter. No wonder.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Mm-hmm. I'm Lupe Marin. I'm his wife.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Ah...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I was his wife.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Good luck to you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Bad-mouth him all you want, Diego.
0:27:21 > 0:27:28But while we have been talking about socialism over drinks at parties for ten years, Stalin is making it work.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- He's achieving it.- Achieving what?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35His only big idea so far is to throw out all the real thinkers in the land.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- He just threw YOU out. - No. Not just me.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40No, not just you. Mr Trotsky...
0:27:40 > 0:27:46- a man who plays the martyr when, in truth, he was rejected by his own country. Good riddance.- No.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He had to run for his life. Stalin would have had him shot.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51That's his version of socialism...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53kill anyone who disagrees with you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well, some people have to get shot in a revolution, you know.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Well, I prefer evolution.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Educate the poor.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Mobilize the workers.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Rise like a slow tide. But you...
0:28:04 > 0:28:07you'll have your revolution and kill half the poor to save them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13Diego, this from a Communist who's getting rich painting for the government and wealthy patrons?
0:28:13 > 0:28:14I can't help it if the rich have good taste.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The rich don't have good taste.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20They pay someone to have good taste for them.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23And they don't hire you because you are good.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26They hire you because you assuage their sense of guilt.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29They use you, Diego,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and you are too vain to see it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35No! Diego, no!
0:28:35 > 0:28:37SCREAMS
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Basta.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Whoever takes the biggest swig can dance with me.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Bravo.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15I'd rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Shall we?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12# La noche ira
0:30:12 > 0:30:16# Sin prisa de nostalgia
0:30:18 > 0:30:22# Habra de ser un tango
0:30:22 > 0:30:24# Nuestra herida
0:30:25 > 0:30:30# Un acordeon sangriento
0:30:30 > 0:30:32# Nuestras almas
0:30:35 > 0:30:38# Seremos esta noche
0:30:38 > 0:30:41# Todo el dia
0:30:42 > 0:30:45# Vuelve a mi
0:30:45 > 0:30:48# Amame sin luz
0:30:48 > 0:30:53# En nuestra alcoba azul
0:30:53 > 0:31:00# Donde no hubo sol para nosotros
0:31:01 > 0:31:03# Ciegame
0:31:03 > 0:31:07# Mata mi corazon
0:31:07 > 0:31:11# En nuestra alcoba azul
0:31:17 > 0:31:24# Mi amor! #
0:31:58 > 0:32:00INAUDIBLE
0:32:00 > 0:32:04THEY SHOUT SLOGANS
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- ...and more women.- Next time I'll make sure that happens, OK?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Miss Kahlo.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23You may have to hold me up.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28That Torres is a good man, but he's got to be much more careful.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36What is this, your studio?
0:32:36 > 0:32:42One of the benefits of being party leader - you can arrange for the drinking to be done close to home.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47And now that you are officially a comrade, I believe I can let you see it, if you like.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Hey, listen.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55- If you think I'm going to sleep with you just because you've taken me under your wing, you're wrong.- Me?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I was painting murals and womanizing in peace when you came along.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Anyway, sex is like pissing.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04People take it much too seriously.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07In Russia... Oh, my God, in Russia, everyone was fucking like rabbits.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, this isn't Russia.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11No, thank Christ.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I have a proposal.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18We will not sleep together.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24- We will solemnly swear, right here, right now, that we will be friends only.- Fine.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29Comrades, colleagues, and friends for ever.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Did you arrange for that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Cost me a fortune.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I have a scar.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Let me see it.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33You're perfect.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Perfect.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Ah...
0:35:11 > 0:35:17Mmm! I always wanted a man with melones bigger than mine.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25- You know what I've always loved? - What?- A girl with cojones.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Ah!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Ooh! Aah!- Oh!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- These are good, Frida. I love them. - Hmm.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48And you were probably painting better when you were 12.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50That's nonsense.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- I could never paint like this.- Oh!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I couldn't. I'm serious.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I paint what I see...
0:35:59 > 0:36:02the world outside.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06But you...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08you paint from here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11It's wonderful.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I can see why you're so successful with women.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23We'll have to get married, you know.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26What?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28The thing is...
0:36:30 > 0:36:34I think it's quite possible that we were born for each other,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36so we should marry.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39But you don't believe in marriage.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Of course I do. I've had two wives already.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Exactly.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44You can't be true to only one woman.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47True, yes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Faithful...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52no.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Unfortunately, I'm physiologically incapable of fidelity.- Oh, really?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Yes. A doctor acquaintance of mine confirmed this.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03What a convenient diagnosis.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Is fidelity that important to you?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Loyalty is important to me.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Can you be loyal?- To you?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Always.- Good.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Because I love you, panzon.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Fridocha.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I accept!
0:37:44 > 0:37:46What a beautiful bride you are.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Don't touch me! - Oh, you think I'm going to hit you?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03But he's divorced twice. He's had God knows how many children.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05And he's an atheist, Guillermo.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Perhaps you have forgotten, and forgive me for reminding you,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12but I am a German Jew, and you married me, remember?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Yes.- Hmm.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15He's also a Communist.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19A Communist who is generous enough to pay off our mortgage.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22It's like the marriage of an elephant and a dove.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Oh, your toe!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12It's been a long time.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- I don't want to talk. - I told you I wanted you to come.
0:39:15 > 0:39:22- I don't want to talk!- Please! Cris... Cristina!- Get back!
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- I give them...six months.- Six?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I give them two.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- I don't believe in marriage. - LAUGHTER
0:39:53 > 0:39:56No, I really don't! Let me be clear about that.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I think at worst it's a hostile political act,
0:39:59 > 0:40:05a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way,
0:40:05 > 0:40:10wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13At best, it's a happy delusion.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15These two people who truly love each other
0:40:15 > 0:40:20and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22LAUGHTER
0:40:22 > 0:40:26But... But... when two people know that,
0:40:26 > 0:40:33and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36then I don't think it's conservative or delusional.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- To Diego and Frida.- Diego and Frida.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54# Borrachita me voy
0:40:55 > 0:41:01# Para olvidarte
0:41:01 > 0:41:06# Te quiero mucho
0:41:06 > 0:41:12# Tambien me quieres
0:41:12 > 0:41:17# Borrachita me voy
0:41:17 > 0:41:22# Hasta la capital

0:41:31 > 0:41:35# Anteayer... #
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Aaaah!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43You're crazy! You know that? You're crazy.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45You son of a bitch!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49You like these legs?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Oh, Lupe. Lupe, no. - You like those legs, Diego?
0:41:53 > 0:41:58You give up these beauties, for these matchsticks? This peg leg?
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Mira! Mira!
0:42:07 > 0:42:10DIEGO LAUGHS
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Viva la revolucion.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Ay!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35My mother was wrong about you, you know?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38She said you were an elephant. But you're not.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Elephants are strong and courageous, and they defend their mates.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45You are a toad. You even look like a toad.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49And you look like a dog. Dove! Dove!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Did I say dog? No, I meant dove.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56You are my little paloma.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08What will people say about such a pair?
0:43:09 > 0:43:12They'll have never seen a better match.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Thank you.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23For what?
0:43:23 > 0:43:27For making a fat, old, crazy Communist a happy man.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Ohh...
0:43:37 > 0:43:40NOISES FROM KITCHEN
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Sit. Eat.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Mi amor!
0:44:08 > 0:44:10- Mmm!- Good, eh?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Mmm!
0:44:12 > 0:44:14What a wonderful morning!
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Lupe's special recipe.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Well, you've mastered it.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21I can't cook to save my life.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24She brought it down for us while you were sleeping.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- Brought it down?- Mm. She's in the apartment upstairs with my kids.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I let her have it till she finds a place in town.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53I'm not just passing through, you know! I'm here to stay!
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Is that what you came to tell me?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58I'm here to stay.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01So stay out of my damn kitchen.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04You like my mole?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- So-so.- Well, he lives for it.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12So if you're here to stay, you better learn how to make it.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17I was so angry. He didn't come home for three days. Pass me the cilantro.
0:45:17 > 0:45:24So, I took two of his damn Aztec idols, that he adores, you know.
0:45:24 > 0:45:31And I smashed the pieces of clay in the boiling pot of beef stock and told him it was sopa Azteca.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- Medea! Did he eat it? - He did.- Did he like it?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38He loved it.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Of course, until he found out.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Then he got sick. He got furious. Oof!
0:45:47 > 0:45:50It didn't make me feel any better.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53And it definitely didn't stop him from cheating.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56But what the hell?
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Mama... > CLATTERING
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Brute! Get out!
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Come on! Ven aqui. Oh...
0:46:07 > 0:46:14Marie! ..Come on. Let's go... Time for your nap.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22The other night...I was very drunk.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24I know. It's all right.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30SHE SIGHS
0:46:32 > 0:46:35Diego has never belonged to anybody.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37He belongs only to himself.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40And that, of course, is what makes him so desirable.
0:46:40 > 0:46:46He's the best of friends and the worst of husbands.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Diego will never be anyone's husband. Not really.
0:46:50 > 0:46:51We'll see.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55You'll know it's over when he gets the next commission out of town.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58He'll say he'll send for you, then he never does.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00- Senora Rivera?... - Yes?- Yes?
0:47:46 > 0:47:47What do you think?
0:47:54 > 0:47:57The tits lack...gravity.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Oh, come on!
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Eat your posole while it's still hot.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09It's not like you to be late for lunch, Diego.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13I was at the ministry explaining why a history of the Mexican people
0:49:13 > 0:49:17- is an appropriate subject for the Mexican National Palace.- Again?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20When I work, they scream about my politics.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23When I don't work, they scream about the delays.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25It's a farce.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Ugh. Diego!
0:49:33 > 0:49:35- That model, huh?- Yes.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41It was just a fuck, that's all.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44I've given more affection in a handshake.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Well, that makes me feel so much better.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Was she good, at least?
0:49:55 > 0:49:56Not very.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00Too bad. She had such a great ass.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04When you get home, take a good bath.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06We're going out tonight.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10SHE SINGS IN SPANISH
0:51:01 > 0:51:03More tequila!
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Rivera! Hey!
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Yeah, you.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13You know what I think of you and your stinking murals?
0:51:13 > 0:51:15HE SPITS
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Why don't you get the fuck out of here, huh?
0:51:17 > 0:51:20This is a bar for workers, not for government whores.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34SHE STARTS TO SING
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I tell you, that kid was one of Siqueiros' boys.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Siqueiros is a hero to these fucks, but what's he actually done? Nothing!
0:51:47 > 0:51:49I put socialism on the government walls.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53The Fascists call me the most dangerous subversive in the country,
0:51:53 > 0:51:56- and- I'm- the traitor to the party?
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Soon we'll have no-one left to drink with.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00- It's not funny.- I'm not kidding.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04Tina says they'll kick you out of the party for the Palace mural.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06They won't have to. I quit.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08So you'll quit and keep on working.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11That's all that matters to you any way.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13I've been offered a show in New York.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17A solo exhibition at the new Modern Museum.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19It would be a wonderful entree.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21I could get commissions out of it.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30I thought you'd be excited.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33They don't care that you're a Communist pig?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35They can't afford to.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38All the greatest painters are Communist pigs.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45That's wonderful, Diego.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47When do you leave?
0:52:49 > 0:52:51As soon as you decide to come with me.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Oh, mi monstrito! We'll take Gringolandia by storm.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05'Dear Cristi, the invasion of Gringolandia has begun.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10'They are never gonna know what hit them.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13'New York has Diego on fire.'
0:53:13 > 0:53:17- What's your impression of New York, Mr Rivera?- Magnificent.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21There is no reason why any artist born in our two continents
0:53:21 > 0:53:23should go to Europe for inspiration.
0:53:23 > 0:53:28It is all here... the might, the power, the energy.
0:53:28 > 0:53:34The sadness. The glory and youthfulness of our American lands.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37'I see the majesty that Diego sees.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39'But all that American comfort is a myth.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44'While the rich drink their coctelitos, thousands are starving.
0:53:44 > 0:53:51'Diego is working almost constantly to prepare for his show, so I have to find ways to entertain myself.'
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Aah! Aah! Aah!
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Aargh!
0:54:04 > 0:54:06SIREN SOUNDS
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Grrr! Grrr!
0:54:13 > 0:54:16SHE SCREAMS
0:54:16 > 0:54:20Breaking all records, over 50,000 people have lined up outside
0:54:20 > 0:54:22New York's new Museum of Modern Art
0:54:22 > 0:54:27to see the paintings of Mexico's greatest artist, Diego Rivera,
0:54:27 > 0:54:30the most talked about man this side of the Rio Grande.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37Senor Diego Rivera! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:54:37 > 0:54:41'The gringos are friendly enough, but the most important thing in
0:54:41 > 0:54:45'Gringolandia is to have ambition, to succeed in becoming somebody.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48'And the somebodies are the only ones that interest them.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50'I despise this pretension.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53'Being la gran caca interests me not at all.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56'Of course, Diego loves it.
0:54:56 > 0:55:01'He's like a big Mexican pinata with enough candy for everyone.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04'Everything about this country inspires him.'
0:55:21 > 0:55:26Two loose eggs, hot cinnamon bun, two black coffees. Anything else?
0:55:26 > 0:55:27That's fine. Thank you.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31OK. Are you guys ready? Hmm?
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Well, I never thought I'd hear myself say this,
0:55:39 > 0:55:41but you were
0:55:41 > 0:55:43better than your husband.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49You weren't upset about that, were you?
0:55:52 > 0:55:55I mean he... he said you wouldn't be.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58Oh, he did, did he?
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Well, you weren't the first, and you won't be the last.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07Why do you put up with it?
0:56:09 > 0:56:13Look, Diego's how he is, and that's how I love him.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16I cannot love him for what he's not.
0:56:17 > 0:56:22Anyway, my sweet Gracie,
0:56:22 > 0:56:24I get along just fine.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35- Over here.- Can we get your picture? - Mr Rivera...
0:56:35 > 0:56:38- That's a lot of wall. - It's all there is.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Please. Please, I have to get back to work. I'm sorry.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Are you a painter too, Mrs Rivera?
0:56:55 > 0:56:58No. Just killing time.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01She's much better than me.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03You'll see.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16What did the doctor say?
0:57:18 > 0:57:23He might be able to improve the pain, but the bones would have to be reset. Blah, blah, blah.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26Blah, blah, blah. The usual speech. I know it by heart.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30(I'm pregnant.)
0:57:34 > 0:57:35Oh.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40Can your body take it?
0:57:40 > 0:57:44- If it can take you, it can take a little Dieguito.- No, no, Frida.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46He's not very optimistic.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50This is not...
0:57:50 > 0:57:51SHE SIGHS
0:57:51 > 0:57:54I can't bear to think of you in pain.
0:57:54 > 0:57:55I'm used to pain.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00This is not...
0:58:00 > 0:58:02I'm not a good example of...
0:58:03 > 0:58:06It's not a good time.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08There's the Rockefeller commission.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11Detroit. Chicago. All that travelling.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13No, it's too much.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22You really want this baby, Frida?
0:58:25 > 0:58:28- I do.- All right.
0:58:30 > 0:58:33- All right?- All right, let's try and have this baby.
0:58:37 > 0:58:39Shh, shh, shh.
0:58:39 > 0:58:41Listen, listen.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45Hmm.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47He's reciting The Communist Manifesto.
0:59:09 > 0:59:14GROANING
0:59:14 > 0:59:15Hoy!
0:59:32 > 0:59:35- She's lost a lot of blood. - I want to see her!
0:59:35 > 0:59:38She needs to sleep. You should go home and try and get some rest.
0:59:38 > 0:59:42- Frida! - You should be in bed, Mrs Rivera.
0:59:42 > 0:59:45- The baby came out in pieces. - Come with me. Let's go back to bed.
0:59:45 > 0:59:47It never formed properly.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51- We can try again, but you must rest...- Mrs Rivera... - But he's my son.- Mrs Rivera.
0:59:51 > 0:59:53I want to see him!
0:59:53 > 0:59:55What did you do with him?!
0:59:55 > 0:59:57I want to see my son!
0:59:57 > 1:00:00- Mr Rivera, please...- Hey! - What did you do with him?!
1:00:00 > 1:00:02All right, chiquita, I'll take care of it.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08- Diego...- I promise.
1:00:08 > 1:00:09I promise.
1:00:55 > 1:00:58HE SOBS
1:01:37 > 1:01:40- What the hell is this?- Breakfast.
1:01:40 > 1:01:42You trying to kill me?
1:01:42 > 1:01:48- I need fuel to work.- Listen, panzon, if you get any fatter, it's going to be you in the hospital next time.
1:01:48 > 1:01:50You know, I don't believe in God,
1:01:50 > 1:01:53but I still thank him every day that he kept you safe for me.
1:01:53 > 1:01:55Hmm, really?
1:01:55 > 1:01:58I tell him he's got a lot of explaining to do.
1:01:58 > 1:01:59DIEGO LAUGHS
1:01:59 > 1:02:03From now on, I'm going to get Rockefeller to bring my breakfast over from 21.
1:02:03 > 1:02:05Uh-oh.
1:02:07 > 1:02:09Frida?
1:02:12 > 1:02:15WOMEN PRAY QUIETLY
1:02:18 > 1:02:21Frida. You are here.
1:02:31 > 1:02:33THEY PRAY QUIETLY
1:02:41 > 1:02:42I left him.
1:02:44 > 1:02:46And that was his parting gift?
1:02:49 > 1:02:51I should have been there for you.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58You're here now.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13She'll throw a fit if I let her damn plants die.
1:03:16 > 1:03:20We fought so much. Sometimes I...
1:03:20 > 1:03:23sometimes I would regret that I ever married her.
1:03:25 > 1:03:26I would think how I hated her.
1:03:29 > 1:03:34You do enough damage to one another, you begin to think that way.
1:03:34 > 1:03:37Well, then she gets sick and...
1:03:37 > 1:03:38I tend her garden.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55THEY PRAY
1:04:16 > 1:04:18MOB CRIES OUT ANGRILY
1:04:19 > 1:04:23You'd seen my work. You knew my politics when you hired me.
1:04:23 > 1:04:24- Yes.- I showed you the sketches.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27- I discussed them with you and your father.- Yes.
1:04:27 > 1:04:29What were you expecting? A line of dancing girls?
1:04:29 > 1:04:33No, but nor was I expecting a portrait of Lenin.
1:04:33 > 1:04:38Now, let's be honest. In the sketches that you showed me originally, it was just some anonymous worker.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41He transformed himself into Lenin of his own accord.
1:04:41 > 1:04:45- No,- you- transformed him into Lenin because they took shots at us in the paper!
1:04:45 > 1:04:50Do you really think that my family is influenced by newspaper hacks?
1:04:50 > 1:04:52I would've defended you.
1:04:52 > 1:04:56I will defend you against any attack because the work is thrilling.
1:04:56 > 1:04:59As always.
1:04:59 > 1:05:04But a portrait of Vladimir Lenin will offend many people,
1:05:04 > 1:05:06in particular, my father.
1:05:06 > 1:05:10You see, you're putting me in an impossible position.
1:05:10 > 1:05:13So I'm asking you to please change this one detail.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17It's against my principles.
1:05:18 > 1:05:23Yes, well, you've adjusted your principles to come to our parties and eat at our table,
1:05:23 > 1:05:25so I hope you will reconsider.
1:05:26 > 1:05:29MOB CRIES OUT
1:05:32 > 1:05:36You've got quite a crowd out there. Half of them think you're the devil.
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Half of them think you're a hero.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43Tell me honestly what you think.
1:05:43 > 1:05:47- If you lie down with dogs, you should expect fleas.- No, seriously.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50- This is really frightening me.- Why?
1:05:50 > 1:05:53Because I'm actually wondering if he's right.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55Perhaps I am being foolish,
1:05:55 > 1:05:59- risking too much. - Diego, you can't lose.
1:05:59 > 1:06:00Forget about artistic integrity.
1:06:00 > 1:06:03You've done better ones than this, and you'll do more.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06But whatever happens, you have aroused people.
1:06:06 > 1:06:09You've made them get passionate about their ideals.
1:06:09 > 1:06:12There's not another painter in the world who can say that.
1:06:13 > 1:06:17He could walk in here tomorrow and tear it down. You'd still have won.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20Ah, maybe.
1:06:20 > 1:06:22He doesn't have the balls.
1:06:24 > 1:06:26MOB OUTSIDE CRIES OUT
1:06:27 > 1:06:28(Diego!)
1:06:39 > 1:06:44Senor Rivera. I must ask you one last time to reconsider your position.
1:06:47 > 1:06:49I will not compromise my vision.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56In that case, this is your fee,
1:06:56 > 1:06:59paid in full, as agreed.
1:06:59 > 1:07:01But your services are no longer required.
1:07:01 > 1:07:03- It's my painting!- On my wall.
1:07:03 > 1:07:07It's the people's wall! You bastard!

1:08:02 > 1:08:04Frida, we have to fight these bastards.
1:08:04 > 1:08:07They tore down the wall, but the painting is up here.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09I'll do it again, and I'll use his money!
1:08:09 > 1:08:13- What money? We don't even have enough to get to Chicago. - We're not going to Chicago.
1:08:13 > 1:08:14They cancelled the commission.
1:08:16 > 1:08:18It's time to go home.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21What?! With my tail between my legs?
1:08:21 > 1:08:25We don't belong here. I am tired of these people, and I am tired of who you are around them.
1:08:27 > 1:08:28See that?! Hmm?
1:08:28 > 1:08:30You want to go back to that?!
1:08:34 > 1:08:36Yes! I want to go back to that!
1:09:06 > 1:09:07Ahh.
1:09:20 > 1:09:23- I'm working.- I can see that.
1:09:23 > 1:09:25I brought you some lunch.
1:09:25 > 1:09:28The doctor says you should eat more, for once.
1:09:33 > 1:09:35Puta madre!
1:09:37 > 1:09:38Diego.
1:09:41 > 1:09:43All right, that's enough.

1:10:12 > 1:10:14Diego.
1:10:14 > 1:10:16You need help.
1:10:23 > 1:10:26Frida, why do you and Diego have separate houses?
1:10:26 > 1:10:30Because we are two different people, but our love makes us into one.
1:10:30 > 1:10:32That's why we have the bridge.
1:10:32 > 1:10:36So, you mean, the bridge is your love?
1:10:36 > 1:10:38Yeah. That's a good way to put it.
1:10:38 > 1:10:41Then why is it such a small bridge?
1:10:43 > 1:10:46He's not working. He's sick.
1:10:46 > 1:10:48He's depressed.
1:10:48 > 1:10:51He says the people in this country are like mules, they're so stupid.
1:10:51 > 1:10:54And he blames it all on me for making him come back.
1:10:54 > 1:10:56That's ridiculous.
1:10:56 > 1:11:00Still, you are lucky to have him.
1:11:00 > 1:11:03I feel so desperate every day.
1:11:03 > 1:11:06Sometimes I even think of going back.
1:11:06 > 1:11:08Well, you're not.
1:11:12 > 1:11:13What about a job?
1:11:13 > 1:11:16- You could help me out organizing Diego's studio.- Where do I start?
1:11:16 > 1:11:19- Don't touch anything.- Diego.

1:13:09 > 1:13:13I-I-I'm an idiot, but it meant nothing, Frida, nothing.
1:13:17 > 1:13:19Frida, talk to me!
1:13:29 > 1:13:35There have been two big accidents in my life, Diego, the trolley and you.

1:15:41 > 1:15:47It's a limp up three flights of stairs, I can't afford any furniture, and it's cold at night.
1:15:47 > 1:15:51But at least I know who's fucking who in my own house.
1:15:51 > 1:15:52Diego's not giving you any money?
1:15:52 > 1:15:56I'd rather be poor.
1:15:56 > 1:15:58She was my sister,
1:15:58 > 1:16:00not some model.
1:16:00 > 1:16:01My own sister.
1:16:02 > 1:16:06- To hell with him.- To hell with him.
1:16:06 > 1:16:10Find some work. Pay your own bills for a while.
1:16:10 > 1:16:14- I'll sell some paintings. - Not enough to cover your bar bill.
1:16:15 > 1:16:17No, don't get me wrong. I love your paintings.
1:16:17 > 1:16:21I'm just not sure you should count on them for a living.
1:16:21 > 1:16:23They're tough, you know.
1:16:23 > 1:16:28I mean, look at this. What the hell is this?
1:16:28 > 1:16:32It was in the damn papers.
1:16:32 > 1:16:36A man stabbed his wife 22 times, and when the judge asked him why
1:16:36 > 1:16:39he did it, he said, "But it was just a few small nips."
1:16:43 > 1:16:45Oh.
1:16:59 > 1:17:03- Who's that?- The ghost of Frida Kahlo.
1:17:03 > 1:17:06Oh, I remember her.
1:17:06 > 1:17:08How are you?
1:17:08 > 1:17:09Lonely.
1:17:09 > 1:17:13Only you ghosts come to visit these days.
1:17:14 > 1:17:17So, how is your Diego?
1:17:19 > 1:17:22I don't know why I called him that.
1:17:22 > 1:17:25He was never mine. Never will be.
1:17:25 > 1:17:27But he's fine. Painting, I guess.
1:17:27 > 1:17:30- And you? Are you also painting?- Yes.
1:17:30 > 1:17:33And I want you to pose for me. You don't even have to leave the house.
1:17:33 > 1:17:35I want to leave the house.
1:17:35 > 1:17:39All right, then. We'll go somewhere different every day.
1:17:39 > 1:17:42That sounds good. You've painted everyone else in the family.
1:17:43 > 1:17:45Yes.
1:17:45 > 1:17:46A long time ago.
1:17:49 > 1:17:51SHE SIGHS
1:17:51 > 1:17:53Remind me what I wanted then.
1:17:55 > 1:17:57You wanted to be your own person.
1:18:00 > 1:18:04THEY SING IN SPANISH
1:18:28 > 1:18:29Frida.
1:18:34 > 1:18:37She never liked you, you know.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40She told me you would only bring me troubles.
1:18:48 > 1:18:50There is something I must discuss with you.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55A favour I need to ask of you.
1:18:58 > 1:19:02You've got a lot of nerve to come here asking me to do you favours.
1:19:02 > 1:19:04No, it's not for me. It's Trotsky.
1:19:04 > 1:19:09The Norwegians have expelled him, no other country will take him, and Stalin wants him dead.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12I have appealed to President Cardenas myself.
1:19:12 > 1:19:15They have granted him asylum here in Mexico.
1:19:17 > 1:19:20I want you to welcome him with me.
1:19:20 > 1:19:23Let him live in your father's house.
1:19:23 > 1:19:27I know it's a lot to ask, but this is a difficult transition for them.
1:19:28 > 1:19:30And you, Frida...
1:19:32 > 1:19:37..you bring life and warmth to any place.
1:19:37 > 1:19:39Anyway...
1:19:39 > 1:19:45Trotsky is a very great man in enormous danger, and we have the opportunity to help him.
1:19:48 > 1:19:50Yes, all right.
1:19:57 > 1:19:58Such commotion.
1:19:58 > 1:20:02I don't understand, such a commotion for a philosopher.
1:20:02 > 1:20:06A very great man, Papa. A true revolutionary.
1:20:06 > 1:20:08It's an important service we're doing.
1:20:08 > 1:20:11If you admire him, why don't you advise him not to get involved in politics?
1:20:11 > 1:20:14Politics are ruinous.
1:20:14 > 1:20:16Good advice, Papa. I'm sure he'll agree.
1:20:39 > 1:20:43I regret it was not possible for me to meet you at your boat.
1:20:43 > 1:20:49Natalia and I, we are deeply indebted to you for your generosity in these difficult times.
1:20:49 > 1:20:54Your charming wife, she has made the last leg of our trip such a delight.
1:20:54 > 1:20:59We are profoundly honoured to have you and your wife in our home.
1:20:59 > 1:21:01Ay, Diego, they're starving.
1:21:01 > 1:21:04- Let's feed them. - TROTSKY SPEAKS RUSSIAN
1:21:05 > 1:21:07Thank you.
1:21:10 > 1:21:12- LAUGHTER - No, it's true!
1:21:12 > 1:21:14It's true! I could not believe it!
1:21:14 > 1:21:18These people are idiots! They scream about Hitler's aggression,
1:21:18 > 1:21:22and then sing Stalin's praises. Aren't they the same creature?
1:21:22 > 1:21:26Yes, but not exactly. Of course they are both monsters,
1:21:26 > 1:21:30- but Hitler at least is a madman with a vision.- Vision? He's insane!
1:21:30 > 1:21:33Of course he is insane, but he has the ability
1:21:33 > 1:21:37to mobilise the people's minds, whereas Stalin, he's...
1:21:37 > 1:21:40he is so dull. LAUGHTER
1:21:41 > 1:21:44There is the brutality, but when you get right down to it,
1:21:44 > 1:21:47Stalin is nothing but a bureaucrat,
1:21:47 > 1:21:51and that is what is smothering our revolution.
1:21:51 > 1:21:56They are the same, but only in that the insanity of power has overruled them.
1:21:56 > 1:21:59And between them, they will consume the continent.
1:21:59 > 1:22:04- Madness.- Yes, but a challenge.
1:22:04 > 1:22:05Look at us!
1:22:05 > 1:22:10Mexican, Russian, French, in this wonderful new planet Rivera!
1:22:14 > 1:22:19I tell you this, my friends, in the experience of my lifetime,
1:22:19 > 1:22:24the failure and the pain have certainly outstripped the triumphs.
1:22:24 > 1:22:28But this has not only not destroyed my faith, my faith in reason,
1:22:28 > 1:22:32in truth, in human solidarity, but, on the contrary,
1:22:32 > 1:22:35it has made it indestructible.
1:22:35 > 1:22:41I see the hope of the world in you, and, from my heart, I thank you.
1:22:41 > 1:22:45- Na zdorov'ya!.- Na zdorov'ya! - Salud!- Salud!
1:22:45 > 1:22:47Imagine living your life like that,
1:22:47 > 1:22:53- with a price on your head, and staying so calm.- Yes.
1:22:55 > 1:22:57Good night, Diego.
1:23:42 > 1:23:44Whoo!
1:23:46 > 1:23:48Oh, stop it, Andre.
1:23:48 > 1:23:52- I hate flattery.- I don't care. It is wonderful, wonderful work.
1:23:52 > 1:23:55- Have you seen all these? - Of course. I tell her all the time.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58Julian Levy took a couple of her paintings to New York,
1:23:58 > 1:23:59and sold both of them,
1:23:59 > 1:24:02and she sold another four to that actor, the gangster.
1:24:02 > 1:24:05- Edward G. Robinson. - Yeah, for 200 apiece.
1:24:05 > 1:24:09He was robbed. We haven't been able to fool anyone else.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12My little paintings can't mean anything to anyone but me.
1:24:12 > 1:24:16Stop! Get down! They put a bag by the door! Get back!
1:24:16 > 1:24:19- Let's get inside.- Get back! - Inside, quickly.
1:24:19 > 1:24:20- Cover him! Hurry!- Inside!
1:24:20 > 1:24:23Frida! Frida, what are you doing?
1:24:25 > 1:24:28I give you five seconds to get out of here.
1:24:28 > 1:24:30One, two...
1:24:30 > 1:24:34GUN FIRES, WOMEN SCREAM
1:24:34 > 1:24:39It's all right. It's all right. Sorry about that.
1:24:39 > 1:24:41- It was my mother's sisters. - What do you mean?
1:24:41 > 1:24:44They were leaving icons, and sprinkling holy water.
1:24:44 > 1:24:47They think this house is cursed, and you are the Antichrist.
1:25:15 > 1:25:18I want you to think about it seriously.
1:25:18 > 1:25:21You could be part of the Mexican exhibition in Paris.
1:25:21 > 1:25:23What I really want is a show in my own country.
1:25:23 > 1:25:27Which they will give you, once you become famous somewhere else.
1:25:27 > 1:25:29Your paintings should be seen.
1:25:29 > 1:25:33- So, who is coming up with me? - It's harder than you think.
1:25:33 > 1:25:37- Ah, everything is harder than we think.- I'll go!- Are you sure?
1:25:37 > 1:25:41If an old man can do it, why not a cripple?
1:25:45 > 1:25:47No, no, no, no.
1:25:47 > 1:25:52- It's OK. I don't think assassins are waiting at the top.- I'll race you.
1:26:15 > 1:26:20Frida, how were you hurt?
1:26:22 > 1:26:24I couldn't even tell you any more.
1:26:24 > 1:26:28I've been cut into, rebroke, and reset so many times.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30I'm like a jigsaw puzzle.
1:26:30 > 1:26:35And all the operations have done more damage than the accident, for all I know.
1:26:35 > 1:26:37Everything hurts.
1:26:37 > 1:26:41But the leg, the leg is the worst.
1:26:49 > 1:26:51But I'm all right.
1:26:51 > 1:26:55At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.
1:26:58 > 1:27:01That's what I loved about your paintings,
1:27:01 > 1:27:03that they carry that message.
1:27:03 > 1:27:07You said that nobody would care about them, but I think you are wrong,
1:27:07 > 1:27:10because your paintings express what everyone feels...
1:27:12 > 1:27:15..that they are alone in pain.
1:27:15 > 1:27:16Maybe.
1:27:19 > 1:27:22Leon, tell me about your children.
1:27:23 > 1:27:26My children.
1:27:26 > 1:27:30We knew the girls had been murdered, and one of the boys.
1:27:30 > 1:27:34We thought the other was still alive in the prison.
1:27:34 > 1:27:35But that letter came.
1:27:35 > 1:27:39He was executed, too. They are all gone.
1:27:40 > 1:27:45I have condemned my family, as I am condemned.
1:27:45 > 1:27:48- You mustn't say that.- But it's true.
1:27:48 > 1:27:51Stalin has more power than any tsar.
1:27:51 > 1:27:53I'm alone, with few friends,
1:27:53 > 1:27:58and no resources against the world's biggest killing machine.
1:27:59 > 1:28:04So, what can I do, but keep on working, living.
1:28:04 > 1:28:09You cannot imagine what a joy it is for me to be here,
1:28:09 > 1:28:11to see all this.
1:28:11 > 1:28:16It is the first time I felt like a real person in years.
1:29:27 > 1:29:31In his book, "State and Revolution",
1:29:31 > 1:29:35Lenin purged from the genuine teaching of Karl Marx
1:29:35 > 1:29:41all the spurious ingredients introduced by the social democracy.
1:30:15 > 1:30:17John, I am picking it up from "social democracy".
1:30:23 > 1:30:25Frida!
1:30:28 > 1:30:34- This is the book I mentioned. Tell me what you think.- Thank you.
1:30:36 > 1:30:38I'll be back in an hour!
1:30:50 > 1:30:57< TROTSKYS ARGUE IN RUSSIAN
1:31:12 > 1:31:14No, no, no, no, no. It is better this way.
1:31:14 > 1:31:18We will stop disrupting your lives.
1:31:18 > 1:31:21We're not going far, just around the corner.
1:31:21 > 1:31:24I wish you would reconsider, if only for security.
1:31:24 > 1:31:27We will be more than safe.
1:31:27 > 1:31:30- Trust me.- Do svidaniya.
1:31:30 > 1:31:31Many thanks, my friend.
1:31:36 > 1:31:39We'll see you soon.
1:31:39 > 1:31:40Natalia.
1:32:05 > 1:32:08It makes no sense. It was for his own well-being.
1:32:08 > 1:32:11He's not thinking of his well-being. He's thinking of hers.
1:32:13 > 1:32:14What are you talking about?
1:32:19 > 1:32:23I'm talking about somebody willing to sacrifice some of their own pleasure,
1:32:23 > 1:32:26rather than go on hurting the woman who loves him.
1:32:30 > 1:32:32- Have you lost your mind? - Go to hell, Diego.
1:32:32 > 1:32:35You know what the consequences of this could be?
1:32:35 > 1:32:39- He's not scared. Why should you be? - Dear God, Frida, of all people, why?
1:32:39 > 1:32:42Because we wanted to.
1:32:46 > 1:32:48You've broken my heart, Frida.
1:32:52 > 1:32:54It hurts, doesn't it?
1:32:54 > 1:32:56But why?
1:32:56 > 1:32:58It was just a fuck, like a handshake.
1:32:58 > 1:33:00I told you who I was when you married me.
1:33:00 > 1:33:04Yes, you did, and I married you anyway,
1:33:04 > 1:33:06and you promised to be loyal.
1:33:08 > 1:33:14You've been my comrade, my fellow artist, my best friend.
1:33:16 > 1:33:19- But you've never been my husband. - Fridocha...
1:33:50 > 1:33:53'Dear Diego, how are you, panzon?'
1:33:54 > 1:33:57'Why didn't you tell me Paris was such a nightmare?'
1:33:57 > 1:34:00SHE SINGS IN FRENCH
1:34:06 > 1:34:09'The French are the most pretentious bores in the world.'
1:34:09 > 1:34:13'I'd rather sit on the floor of a market in Toluca, selling tortillas,
1:34:13 > 1:34:18'than have to listen to the prattling of the artistic bitches of Paris.'
1:34:51 > 1:34:55'There really hasn't been as much interest in the exhibition as Breton promised.'
1:34:58 > 1:35:03'Mexican artists are nothing but an exotic curiosity here.'
1:35:04 > 1:35:09'All in all, it's been lonely, and I crave news from home.'
1:35:11 > 1:35:15'Diego, this letter is a lie.'
1:35:15 > 1:35:16'Paris has been good to me.'
1:35:16 > 1:35:19'But without you, it means nothing.'
1:35:19 > 1:35:23'All the rage of our 12 years together passes through me,
1:35:23 > 1:35:26'and I am left knowing that I love you more than my own skin.'
1:35:26 > 1:35:31'And though you may not love me as much, you do love me a little, don't you?'
1:35:31 > 1:35:35'If this is not true, I'll always be hopeful that it could be.'
1:35:37 > 1:35:40'I adore you. Frida.'
1:35:57 > 1:36:00< SCREAMS AND COMMOTION
1:36:13 > 1:36:17There are rumours going around that I wanted Trotsky killed.
1:36:17 > 1:36:19We fought lately, it's true, but...
1:36:21 > 1:36:24They may try to arrest me again.
1:36:24 > 1:36:29- Talk to the president.- No. No, I'm going to California.
1:36:29 > 1:36:31- California?- Yes.
1:36:34 > 1:36:37And, Frida...
1:36:37 > 1:36:39I want us to divorce.
1:36:43 > 1:36:46For who? That American actress?
1:36:46 > 1:36:49- Jesus, Diego.- No, Frida, no.
1:36:49 > 1:36:52It will be better. We have both done better as friends.
1:36:52 > 1:36:54- I haven't.- You have.
1:36:54 > 1:36:57- You're doing well. I'm proud of you. You don't need...- Enough.
1:36:57 > 1:36:59If you want to go, just go.
1:37:29 > 1:37:32WOMAN SINGS IN SPANISH
1:37:43 > 1:37:46SHE SINGS IN SPANISH
1:39:34 > 1:39:36KNOCK AT DOOR
1:39:36 > 1:39:37Listen to me.
1:39:37 > 1:39:40I don't particularly care for Mr. Trotsky,
1:39:40 > 1:39:46but we can't go around having political refugees murdered in our country, now, can we?
1:39:51 > 1:39:52Once more.
1:39:52 > 1:39:55Where is your husband?
1:39:55 > 1:39:56I don't have a husband.
1:40:06 > 1:40:07Frida?
1:40:11 > 1:40:12Oh, my God.
1:40:16 > 1:40:18Cristi...
1:40:22 > 1:40:23I'm so sorry.
1:40:31 > 1:40:32It was not your fault.
1:40:32 > 1:40:33It was mine.
1:40:35 > 1:40:38I should have never put you in the room with him.
1:40:41 > 1:40:44What did you do to get me out of here?
1:40:44 > 1:40:47Diego. He went crazy when he heard.
1:40:47 > 1:40:50He called President Cardenas immediately.
1:40:51 > 1:40:54Ay...Diego.
1:41:03 > 1:41:04Not much more.
1:41:20 > 1:41:23How long has your foot been like this?
1:41:23 > 1:41:25Who knows? Let's take one disaster at a time.
1:41:25 > 1:41:28Just patch me up so I can paint, please.
1:41:28 > 1:41:31These are gangrened. They'll have to come off.
1:41:31 > 1:41:35You're lucky it hasn't spread to your leg.
1:42:38 > 1:42:40You've lost weight.
1:42:42 > 1:42:44You've lost your toes.
1:42:46 > 1:42:47Is that why you're here?
1:42:47 > 1:42:49To offer your condolences?
1:42:54 > 1:42:57I'm here to see how you are.
1:42:57 > 1:43:02- How do you feel? - Tired of answering that question.
1:43:02 > 1:43:05Otherwise, like shit. How are you?
1:43:08 > 1:43:09I'm...
1:43:13 > 1:43:17I'm here to ask you to marry me.
1:43:20 > 1:43:22I don't need rescuing, Diego.
1:43:22 > 1:43:23I do.
1:43:26 > 1:43:28I've lost the toes of one foot.
1:43:28 > 1:43:31My back is useless. I have an infection of the kidneys.
1:43:31 > 1:43:35I smoke. I drink. I curse.
1:43:35 > 1:43:37I can't have children.
1:43:37 > 1:43:41I have no money, and a stack of hospital bills. Should I keep going?
1:43:41 > 1:43:44That's practically a letter of recommendation.
1:43:47 > 1:43:48Frida...
1:43:53 > 1:43:55Frida...
1:43:57 > 1:44:01I miss us.
1:44:05 > 1:44:08They say you should never believe a limping dog,
1:44:08 > 1:44:10or the tears of a woman.
1:44:10 > 1:44:13They're wrong.
1:44:33 > 1:44:36THEY SING IN SPANISH
1:45:30 > 1:45:31Cristina!
1:45:45 > 1:45:46Come on!
1:46:11 > 1:46:16"Feet, what do I need you for, if I have wings to fly?"
1:46:16 > 1:46:18I want you to burn this Judas of a body.
1:46:18 > 1:46:21I don't want to be buried.
1:46:21 > 1:46:23I've spent enough time lying down.
1:46:25 > 1:46:26Burn it.
1:46:26 > 1:46:28Frida...
1:46:28 > 1:46:31No, I don't think I'm Frida any more.
1:46:31 > 1:46:34I think all the Frida in me has disappeared.
1:46:34 > 1:46:36Look at what's left.
1:46:42 > 1:46:44Why do you stay?
1:46:48 > 1:46:50You stupid girl.
1:46:59 > 1:47:01Are you crazy? I forbid it!
1:47:01 > 1:47:03Stop it, Diego! You can't force me to stay!
1:47:03 > 1:47:05- Oh, yes, I can!- Give it to me!
1:47:05 > 1:47:08No, Frida! No, we've been through all this before!
1:47:08 > 1:47:11I'm going, damn it! Give me back my fucking leg!
1:47:11 > 1:47:15- Doctor, please help me. - What's going on here?
1:47:15 > 1:47:18I told her she had to stay in bed. She demanded we call you.
1:47:18 > 1:47:20- I'm going to my exhibition.- Frida...
1:47:20 > 1:47:23I've waited for a show in my own country my whole life.
1:47:23 > 1:47:24I'm not going to miss it.
1:47:28 > 1:47:32If the bronchitis gets worse, it will turn into pneumonia.
1:47:32 > 1:47:35Frida, under no circumstances are you to leave this bed.
1:47:35 > 1:47:37I'll bring you back all the gossip, I promise.
1:47:49 > 1:47:51CRISTINA!
1:47:53 > 1:47:57There was this skinny kid, with these eyebrows, shouting up at me,
1:47:57 > 1:47:59"Diego, I want to show you my paintings!"
1:47:59 > 1:48:01But, of course, she made me come down to her.
1:48:01 > 1:48:05THEY LAUGH
1:48:05 > 1:48:09I did, and... I've never stopped looking.
1:48:09 > 1:48:16But I want to speak about Frida, not as her husband, but as an artist.
1:48:16 > 1:48:18I admire her.
1:48:18 > 1:48:21Her work is acid, and tender.
1:48:23 > 1:48:28Hard as steel, fine as a butterfly's wing.
1:48:29 > 1:48:31Lovable as a smile.
1:48:33 > 1:48:37Cruel as...the bitterness of life.
1:48:44 > 1:48:46I don't believe...
1:48:47 > 1:48:52..that ever before has a woman put such agonised poetry on canvas.
1:48:52 > 1:48:54Shut up, panzon!
1:48:54 > 1:48:56Who died?
1:48:56 > 1:48:59THEY APPLAUD HER
1:49:07 > 1:49:08Where is the music?
1:49:10 > 1:49:13You see, doctorcito, I followed your orders.
1:49:13 > 1:49:17- I didn't leave my bed.- Frida.
1:49:17 > 1:49:20Ay, Doctor, if you let me have this tequila,
1:49:20 > 1:49:22I promise not to drink at my funeral.
1:49:22 > 1:49:25- It's a deal.- To Frida!- To Frida!
1:49:29 > 1:49:32SHE SINGS IN SPANISH
1:50:25 > 1:50:28- Are you all right? - Lie down with me.
1:50:51 > 1:50:5325 years together, mi Dieguito.
1:50:55 > 1:50:56Frida.
1:51:01 > 1:51:03Happy silver.
1:51:08 > 1:51:10It's not for two more weeks.
1:51:12 > 1:51:1417 days.
1:52:31 > 1:52:38# Burn this house
1:52:42 > 1:52:49# Burn it blue
1:52:53 > 1:53:02# Heart running on empty
1:53:05 > 1:53:12# So lost without you
1:53:15 > 1:53:19# But the night sky blooms with fire
1:53:19 > 1:53:22# And the burning bed floats higher
1:53:22 > 1:53:24# And she's free to fly... #
