Daisies (1966)
(Sedmikrasky)
Country: CZ
Technical: col 80m
Director: Vera Chytilova
Cast: Jitka Cerhova, Ivana Karbanova
Synopsis:
Two girls embark on a spree of gourmandise and contemptuous aping of the materialist values they see in their society.
Review:
Like a politically subversive Zazie dans le métro, this celebrated movie is not always that easy to decipher and is made in such a kaleidoscopic sixties manner that it can become tiresome before its comparatively short running time has expired, but it is one of a rash of innovative and dangerous films to come out of Czechoslovakia during the years leading up to the Soviet crackdown.
