Daisies by Vera Chytilova, 1966

 

I saw this at BAM and it  has now joined the list as one of the very best films I’ve ever seen. Right up there with Celine and Julie, with whom it shares some qualities. A surrealist, anarchic, hilarious romp of extremely bad behavior. Even after all these years, you can see how this film may have seemed a threat to the communist Czech regime… or any regime for that matter.

Go on girls… have another!
