However , his reputation was really made with the huge blockbuster , Jaws ( 1975 ) , a thriller about a terrifying man-eating shark .

Frida ( directed by Julie Taymor ) is the story of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo . Director Julie Taymor , who won two Tony Awards for her direction and design of the Broadway hit The Lion King , is best known for the visual beauty of her productions . She comes from the world of theater but her unique artistic vision is also clearly shown in Frida , her first Hollywood production . As brushstrokes on the painter's canvas slowly turn into moving images , Kahlo's paintings and colorful biography come to life .
