[responsivevoice_button voice=”UK English Female” buttontext=”Listen to Post”]

The 89th Academy Awards are this Sunday, Feb 26. In the wake of #OscarsSoWhite, DWP revisits the multi-Oscar-nominated Frida, about the life of the posthumously-famous painter and political activist Frida Khalo. Director Julie Taymor was nominated for Best Director, actor/producer and Mexican-born Salma Hayek was nominated for Best Actress, Julie Weiss was nominated for Best Costume Design, art director Felipe Fernández del Paso and set decorator Hania Robledo were nominated for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration.

What I love about this movie is how very, very Mexican it is. More importantly, how very upper-middle income Mexican it is. Like my feelings on Y tu mama tambien,
