An anarchic, surrealist classic and one of the most influential Czech movies of the 1960s, Daisies is still a unique cinematic experience. Two young women, both named Marie, revolt against a degenerate, decayed and oppressive society, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture. Described by director, Vera Chytilová as a ‘philosophical documentary in the form of a farce’, the film is about creative energy and playful rebellion, both defiant feminist statement and nihilistic, avant-garde comedy.
