Daisies

Sedmikrásky Tchécoslovaquie 1966 | Vera Chytilová | vostEN+DE | 76’ | 35 mm | Cast : Ivana Karbanová, Jitka Cerhová, Marie Cesková

After realizing that all world is spoiled, Marie and Marie are committed to be spoiled themselves. They rip off older men, feast in lavish meals and do all kinds of mischief. But what is all this leading to?

« Surely one of the most exhilarating stylistic and psychedelic cinematic explosions of the 1960s, Vera Chytilová's Daisies is a madcap and aggressive feminist farce that explodes in any number of directions... This disturbing yet liberating tour de force shows what this talented director can do with freedom.» (1001 movies)
