DAISIES: 50TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
Dir Věra Chytilová.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA 1966. 79 min.
DESCRIPTION:
Girls meets Pussy Riot in this anarchic Czech New Wave classic.
Daisies is one of the great works of feminist cinema, and of the Czech New Wave: part sex farce, part art film, part political satire. It’s also one of the most delightfully anarchic, adventurous movies ever made as our heroes, Marie and Marie, set out on a series of pranks that expose a world they believe to have been spoiled. “One of the great outpourings of cinematic invention in an age of over-all artistic liberation” (The New Yorker)
