About this event
Our screening on Thursday 8 October will be introduced by art historian and Fashion in Film Festival director Marketa Uhlirova. A satirical, wild and irreverent story of rebellion, Věra Chytilová’s classic of surrealist cinema is perhaps also the most adventurous and anarchic Czechoslovak movie of the 1960s. Two young women, both named Marie, revolt against a degenerate, decayed, and oppressive society, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture. Defiant feminist statement? Nihilistic, avant-garde comedy? It remains a cinematic enigma and its influence is still felt today – from the extreme Baise-Moi to the mainstream Thelma & Louise and in the films of (amongst others) Jacques Rivette, Bertrand Blier, Catherine Breillat, and Gregg Araki. A riotous, punk-rock poem of a film that is both hilarious and mind-warpingly innovative, Daisies continues to provoke, stimulate and entertain. Cast: Jitka Cerhová, Ivana Karbanová
