- This short film, gives us a brief glimpse, into the private study of Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, as she paints, drinks, smokes, and pontificates her unique point of view of life, love and death. A dead ringer for Frida Kahlo, Rosemarie Lagunas, shines as Frida, making us smile and remember the feral nature of Frida Kahlo, who was decades ahead of her time. That is the reason, Frida's work still resonates today. Shot wonderfully, by the gifted Tom Richmond.—Del Zamora
- Frida Kahlo was always fascinated by the dark side of life. It drew her, attracted her, to paint it, in all its ugliness. For in its innate ugliness, lies a human truth, much more beautiful, more powerful, than the ugliness. It is this mindset, that this short film depicts. We watch Frida Kahlo, as she paints a brutal, bloody painting titled, "Unos Cuantos Piqutitos" (A Few Small Nips). The painting is based upon a news story, Frida had read. The news article related, that when the husband who murdered his wife, was confronted with her dead, bloody, corpse; all he could say was, "Pero le dio Unos Cuantos Piquetitos, no mas." Which translates to, "But, I only gave her a few small nips." Frida saw the irony, in the man's tears, as he stood over her dead body.—Del Zamora
