Daisies

“DAISIES (1966) dir. Věra Chytilová, contains one of my favorite food fights in film.”

“food fight scene in Daisies (1966) is so funny! this two silly girls get really really bored of being rich, and at an elaborate feast for just the two of them, they tear apart the table and make a huge mess that would give anyone's grandma a heart attack😭”

“Ever have a girlfriend where your MO together is “go feral” — for better or for worse? This the surreal, pastiche, Czech version of that. If you’re missing that friend, or maybe you’re apart for legal reasons, watch this to get that feeling back”

“Very visually experimental, so my cup of tea. The colour filters, rapid cutting and collage perfectly mirror the chaotic, disjointed nature of the protagonists’ experience. A subversion of societal expectations placed on women to be perfect all of the time. In the midst of all the chaos and mischief, there’s an underlying search for the meaning of life, a nihilistic way of thinking that breeds into all of their actions. If life isn’t worth anything isn’t it best to do as we please? Become a hedonist.”
