(Not Rated, 1966) Maybe the New Wave’s most anarchic entry, Věra Chytilová’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.
Second half of the Capitol’s “Girl’s World – It’s Us They Don’t Understand” double feature! We are honored to present a free, one time screening of this essential addition to feminist cinema.
