"Frida," a new doc by Carla Gutiérrez, enters the crowded field of Frida Kahlo biography. In my latest for the L.A. Times, I have a look.

"I wish I could do whatever I liked behind the curtain of 'madness.' Then: I’d arrange flowers, all day long. I’d paint; pain, love and tenderness. I would laugh as much as I feel like at the stupidity of others, and they would all say: 'Poor thing, she’s crazy!' (Above all I would laugh at my own stupidity.) I would build my world which, while I lived, would be in agreement with all the worlds. The day, or the hour, or the minute that I lived would be mine and everyone else’s - my madness would not be an escape from 'reality.'" ~Frida Kahlo
