Daisies

This gem of the Czech New Wave is an anarchic takedown of authoritarianism, censorship, and the patriarchy. With a radical aesthetic, director Vera Chytilová unleashes a surrealistic and satiric tale about two friends both named Marie who decide to indulge in a gluttony of spoils while exploiting older men and leaving a path of nihilistic chaos in their wake. One of the most important pieces of feminist cinema ever made, DAISIES is a rebuke of polite society that is as timely now as it was upon release. In Czech w/ subtitles.
