The inspirational life of an unlucky woman

The film itself is a painting, a work of art, and it's so well done. In one sentence, the film outlines the inspirational life of an unlucky woman. An excerpt: The female director shoots a female painter, plus the female soundtrack, all of them are women.

The director combines surrealism and montage, and painting and reality are perfectly combined. A tragic slow-motion car accident, a wedding off-screen, a snowing window in New York with Frida's long dress floating on the window. Cut your hair when your heart is broken, people in the mirror draw people. She grew wings in the flames of death, and finally lost her shattered body and took off.
