1966 ‘Sedmikrásky’ Directed by Věra Chytilová
Two teenage girls, both named Marie, decide that since the world is spoiled they will be spoiled as well; accordingly they embark on a series of destructive pranks in which they consume and destroy the world about them. This freewheeling, madcap feminist farce was immediately banned by the government.

Daisies is my favorite film, so I'm going to do this review in two sections. I'm going to spend the first paragraph telling you why you should see the film; don't read the rest until you have, and hopefully I'll be convincing enough that you'll spend the next 70 minutes watching it. The rest of the review will explore why this film is my favorite.
Daisies is fun. It's about having fun and the film itself encompasses fun. The editing is playful and represents a gleeful anarchy; the movie knows it's a movie, so it plays with the boundaries of the medium. The plot is simple; the movie can be described as a film about two hot girls eating food.…
studying this in a class full of men is so Exhausting imagine thinking two girls exploiting the lechery of creepy old men to get free food and cutting up phallic-shaped sausages and pickles isn’t the funniest thing ever

as a woman, i am ravenous.
part of being a girl is having an insatiable appetite you are always told to hide. don't eat so much. don't be so loud. don't giggle like that- it's annoying and unattractive. don't take up so much space. be smaller and quieter and you might be okay. be good and hard-working and you will be happy.

these girls are living their best lives scamming creepy old men for free food!!!! this film invented crackhead energy and i am 100% here for it
An anarchic attack on the senses, Daisies makes a mess of convention, cinema, and its sets. Sound syncs up in odd ways, colours are inconsistent, narrative essentially doesn't exist. This is mad, glorious editing. This is a rejection of everything, an affront to traditional notions of hard work creating happiness. An individualist, mischievous masterpiece, Daisies is a beautifully unique refusal to conform.
You people are gonna fucking murder me but the Miyazaki school of showing food being lovingly prepared does nothing for me. So I found it especially powerful to watch seventy minutes of two Czech teenagers behaving disrespectfully to food. Just absolutely nasty to the very concept of food. They do it so dirty. At one point they spear a bagel and cut it up with scissors. Maybe a single bite makes it in. The catharsis of waste. Then they eat a magazine cutout of some meat. Same shit. It’s all trash. It doesn’t matter. Only one significant bite is taken in this whole thing and it’s up top when they eat from the tree of life and voluntarily cast themselves…
