Daisies (film)
''Daisies'' ( cs, Sedmikrásky) is a 1966 Czechoslovakian surrealist comedy-drama film written and directed by Věra Chytilová. Regarded as a milestone of the Czechoslovak New Wave movement, it follows two young women (Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová), both named Marie, who engage in strange pranks. Originally planned as a satire of bourgeois decadence, the movie targets those attached to rules and was referred to by Chytilová as "a necrologue about a negative way of life." ''Daisies'' also inverts the stereotypical ideas of women and redraws them to the heroines' advantage. The film is considered critical of authoritarianism, including communism and patriarchy, and it was banned from theaters or export in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Plot The title sequence intersperses shots of a spinning flywheel with shots of airplanes strafing and bombing the ground. The first scene shows Marie I and Marie II sitting in bathing suits. Creaking sounds accompany their movements ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Czechoslovak New Wave
The Czechoslovak New Wave (also Czech New Wave) is a term used for the Czechoslovak filmmakers who started making movies in the 1960s. The directors commonly included are Miloš Forman, Věra Chytilová, Ivan Passer, Pavel Juráček, Jiří Menzel, Jan Němec, Jaromil Jireš, Evald Schorm, Hynek Bočan, Juraj Herz, Juraj Jakubisko, Štefan Uher and others. The movement was sometimes called the "Czechoslovak film miracle". Overview The films touched on themes which for earlier film makers in the communist countries had rarely managed to avoid the objections of the censor, such as the misguided youths of Czechoslovak society portrayed in Miloš Forman's '' Black Peter'' (1963) and ''Loves of a Blonde'' (1965), or those caught in a surrealistic whirlwind in Věra Chytilová's '' Daisies'' (1966) and Jaromil Jireš' '' Valerie and Her Week of Wonders'' (1970). The films often expressed dark and absurd humour in opposition to social realist films of the 1950s. The Czechoslovak New W ...
