In an extraordinary performance, Salma Hayek leads an all-star cast in this unforgettable story of an exceptional woman who lived her life as a true artistic, political and sexual revolutionary! A product of humble beginnings, Frida Kahlo (Hayek) would be catapulted to international fame as a talented artist with an uncompromising vision.

Also starring Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Edward Norton and Geoffrey Rush, this absorbing motion picture has been widely acclaimed as one of the year's best films!

THE HOURS

Virginia Woolf (Kidman), in a suburb of London in the early 1920s, is battling insanity as she begins to write her first great novel, Mrs. Dalloway. A wife and mother in post-World War II Los Angeles, Laura Brown (Moore), is reading Mrs. Dalloway and finding it so revelatory that she begins to consider making a devastating change in her life.
