Watched "Frida" for the first time last night.
Poured myself a short bourbon, settled back on the couch, and watched "Frida" for the first time.

Beautifully done. What a fabulous movie.

Did she really sleep with Trotsky & Josephine Baker?

2. Well, I would hope so.............
Most highly creative types are to some degree.

But....did she really sleep with both Trotsky and Baker? Gotta admit, the girl was busy.

3. Well, I don't know if creative types are bisexual, so much as they are
apt to experiment more than the average person--they may not like it after they've done it.

Anyway, don't know anything about her, so I can't fill you in on whether her "conquests" were true or not.

4. Great movie.

I noticed one thing, though -- what Trotsky says about Stalin's conquests in the movie isn't an accurate reflection of what he really thought at the time (he defended them as progressive).

5. Loved it
Visually stunning and great performances.
The Girl with the Pearl is supposed to be
visually stunning also.
