“CHRISTO IN PARIS”/”FRIDA KAHLO: A RIBBON AROUND A BOMB”(United States; the Maysles Brothers/Ken Mandel; Monica, 9 p.m.). “Frida” is an impressionistic portrait of Diego Rivera’s painter-companion. It extends the gossip and legend without deepening it. But “Christo” is a marvelous portrait of the artist’s wrapping the legendary 17th-Century Pont Neuf bridge in shimmering polyamide fabric. This film has everything: irony, love, art and, best of all, Parisians themselves.
