DAISIES - Trailer

Psychedelic| D Věra Chytilová| Czechoslovakia, 1966

"One of the great outpourings of cinematic invention in an age of over-all artistic liberation … a dazzling, bewildering catalogue of visual effects." – The New Yorker

Daisies is the Czech New Wave's most anarchic, riotous comedy: a collage of surreal transitions, colour filters and avant-garde techniques that portrays the decision of a pair of teenage girls to rebel against social convention. Immersing themselves in a range of hijinks – from stringing along older suitors to demolishing a lavish banquet – they transgress against good taste, patriarchal demands and the laws of physics.

The late Věra Chytilová's masterpiece was banned by the authorities – ostensibly because of food wastage, but more likely because of its gleeful assault on the conformist sensibilities of communist Czechoslovakia. Nearly 50 years later, it remains a classic of feminist cinema and a ceaselessly enjoyable exercise in subversion.

"Daisies is the ethos of the Prague Spring turbocharged. It's inventive. It's innovative. It's surreal." – The Boston Globe

I just saw this on HBO Max. I couldn't look away for even an instant. It has the subtitles (which kinda help). Sort of Monty Python meets Ab Fab meets Broad City. Wonderfully trippy.

I'm always loved old foreign films especially Strange out of the ordinary indie like films like this .
Almost like art experiments.
