A biography of artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work.
Chavela Vargas, who sings a song ('La Llorona') to Frida in the bar, knew the real Frida Kahlo with whom she'd had an affair.
Frida Kahlo:
Careful, guys. This corpse is still breathing. Try to get me there in one piece.
In a scene taking place in 1933 Rivera mentions Happy Rockefeller, Nelson Rockefeller's wife. In reality, in 1933 Happy was only 7, and wasn't named "Rockefeller" yet. She and Nelson got married 30 years later, in 1963.
