Daisies

Vera Chytilová's second feature film is not only an iconic contribution to the legacy of the Czech New Wave, but more importantly a timelessly subversive, anarchic, euphoric creation that brazenly speaks out against the establishment. A frantic revolutionary call.

Synopsis

If the entire world is bad, why shouldn’t we be? Adopting this insolent attitude as their guiding philosophy, a pair of hedonistic young women, both named Marie, embark on a gleefully debauched odyssey of gluttony, giddy destruction, and antipatriarchal resistance, in which nothing is safe from their nihilistic pursuit of pleasure. But what happens when the fun is over?
