Daisies
Věra Chytilová, Czechoslovakia, 1966, 76 min
“Daisies is a brightly colored surrealist comedy starring a couple of chicks in search of kicks.”—B. Ruby Rich
A landmark example of the Czech New Wave intersecting with feminist cinema, Věra Chytilová’s Daisies is a playfully surreal and absurdist romp that follows two young women setting out to prank the patriarchy that controls the world they live in. Seeking pleasure and debauchery, they run rampant through banquet halls and nightclubs, staging farcical scenes of social rebellion.
