Tempestuous

Last night Maryanne and I finished watching Frida. It was an interesting film, probably what you'd call a "biopic," though probably not what you'd call entertaining in the sense of a more fictional work.

The cast was fantastic, with Salma Hayek in the title role of Frida Kahlo and Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera. Their performances alone were fantastic, but add to the cast such names as Ashley Judd, Geoffrey Rush, Antonio Banderas, and Edward Norton, and you're well on your way to a first-rate production. The script was decent, easily demonstrating the tempestuous relationship between Kahlo and Rivera. The visual effects were stunning, giving life to Kahlo's surrealistic --and sometimes nightmarish-- paintings.

It also doesn't hurt that you get to see Salma Hayek in the nude, even if she is sporting a unibrow.
