SLAVIC FILM SERIES PRESENTS:
DAISIES
a film by VERA CHYTILOVA
Maybe the New Wave’s most anarchic entry, Vera Chytilova’s absurdist farce
follows the misadventures of two brash young women. Believing the world to
be “spoiled,” they embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food,
clothes, men, war—is taken seriously. ​
Daisies​
is an aesthetically and politically
adventurous film that’s widely considered one of the great works of feminist
cinema.
