What is Daisies about?
Two teenage girls embark on a series of destructive pranks in which they consume and destroy the world around them.
Daisies is a 1966 Czechoslovak satirical comedy film, co-written and directed by Věra Chytilová. Widely regarded as a milestone of the Czechoslovak New Wave, the film follows two young women, both named Marie, as they engage in a series of bizarre, rebellious and anarchic pranks. Originally conceived as a satire of bourgeois decadence, the film critiques societal norms and those who rigidly adhere to rules. Chytilová described the film as "a necrologue about a negative way of life." Daisies also subverts traditional gender stereotypes, redefining its heroines on their own terms. The film is noted for its critique of Communism, censorship, and patriarchy, and it was banned from theaters and export in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
