I hope to be able to get along to the Rochester Film Salon later this week to watch Daises as I’ve not been for far too long! Anyone fancy coming along with me?

Found this review on the IMDB database:

‘One of the most vibrant and fun art house films you are ever likely to see. Vera Chytilova was merging feminism, nihilism, psychedelic color filters, collage aesthetic, and silent film slapstick into a one of a kind film about two young girls named Marie who decide to self destruct, and be just as wicked as the world. They con men into buying them lunch and ditch them at train stations, get drunk in posh nightclubs, set their beds on fire, and lay siege to whole banquets(this latter bit got the film and the director into a lot of trouble with the Soviet Czech government for “wasting food”). Anyway this is an energetic and vibrant film as you’re likely to find anywhere, and unlike so many great euro art films, this is as fun to watch as it is think about afterwords. I’ve shown this movie to a lot of people and I’ve never had a complaint, it clocks in at just over an hour, so if you’ve got the time, go for it. It’s a one of kind experience(in fact the worst part of this movie is the cover).’

Sounds a great movie!
If you fancy it too, give me a shout!
