Synopsis

In this key film from the Czech New Wave, two uninhibited young women (both named Marie) turn against the numbing state of society in a madcap flurry of pranks and material destruction. Beneath the outrageous surface of this avant-garde comedy is a defiant feminist statement and an acknowledgement of the desperation that goes hand-in-hand with rebellion--a state of mind represented by one girl's attempted suicide. The film so unsettled Czech government officials (and a great many other men) that its release was held up for a year. "...the most adventurous and anarchic Czech movie of the 1960s" (The Faber Companion to Foreign Films). In Czech - No DVD menu, so English subtitles must be selected with remote.
Vera Chytilova---Czechoslovakia---1966---74 mins.

DAISIES by Vera Chytilova gets richer and richer all the time. In the light of drone flights and civilian casualties in Afghanistan by US forces, the two imaginative art girls float around Prague saying "We're invisible, nobody sees us". Made during the flowering of the "Czech Spring" , this film, with its beautifully layered cinematography by Pavel Kucera shines in its transfer to Blu-Ray. Dedicated to "All those whose outrage is limited to a smashed up trifle", as explosions of military rockets smash in the background, DAISIES climaxes with glorious bursts of aspic and whipped cream as an elaborate banquet is demolished. This is one cool film. Brava Vera!

be sure you smoke a real fat joint before this - if pot makes twinkies taste good...you're gonna need it for this film and then sit real close to the screen close so when the filters do quick light changes you risk an epileptic fit ..the saving grace is the food fight at the end - it gives animal house a run for the money..there's something classic about high heels stepping in pot roast.... and be sure to read the speech banning it by 21 commie bureaucrats ...then think about the guilt monologue of "being bad" by the main character at the start and end ......at least they were honest.
