Daisies (1966)

Directed by: Vera Chytilová.

Written by: Vera Chytilová & Ester Krumbachová & Pavel Jurácek.

Vera Chytilová’s Daisies is both an angry and playful film – a film about a pair of young women, with no power in society, except when they realize how it is that older men look at them – basically as playthings and objects, and they decide to turn the tables. It is, in many ways, a boldly feminist film – one that pokes at the heart of patriarchal society, and the Communist society that the film was made in – 1966 Czechoslovakia. Of course, it ran into trouble with the censors – they claimed not to have a problem with the content, but rather the wastefulness of the films climatic food fight scene – but that is just a cover.

The two women at the center of Daisies – both named Marie – are both young

and attractive – and apparently have no ties to anyone other than each other. One is blonde, the other brunette – but in many ways, they are interchangeable – or more accurately, they seem to act as one. They live in a society full of waste and exploitation – and so they use the only tools at their disposal to do the same. Their go-to move is to have the brunette go out to dinner with an older, richer, married man – leading him on to expect sex at the end of the date. Then the blonde shows up, gorges herself on an entire meal, before the women ditch the older man – laughing the whole time. They high doesn’t last long though – and soon, they are repeating the same pattern again and again.

I fear that so far, I have made Daisies seem more linear than it is. The film lashes out in different directions and takes digressions – it’s almost all digressions really. Chytilová basically follows her characters wherever she feels like – sets, locations change frequently and without warning. The color scheme will change as well – the film all of a sudden having a red hue for instance. Any hole anywhere may just act as a transport to somewhere else. It’s a kind of weird, version of Alice in Wonderland.

The film is undeniably an angry film. Angry that these two young women have no real alternatives to do what they do, and the oppression they face. But it’s also a very playful film – it is a film about large appetites of all kinds, and the films has a lot of fun going over the top in its depictions of consumption – from the massive dinners the blondes gets the older men to buy for her, to the infamous food fight climax of the film – where the pair of women just waste massive quantities of food in an orgy of excess. There’s also a sequence where the girls chow down on a lot of phallic shaped food. Yes, the film is an angry film, but you’ll recognize influences on Monty Python and Austin Powers here as well.

And the performances by the two actresses Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová are both terrific. They weren’t professionals actresses – and they keep things light throughout. As angry as the film can be, their performances never are – they playful and goofy, and get the right, surreal tone to the film. They are key for Chytilová’s effect for the movie itself. It is too bad that the film faced trouble with the censors – anything in the Communist bloc would have, and it certainly hurt Chytilová’s career. Daisies remains the most famous film of the short-lived Czech New Wave – a strange, surreal masterwork of world cinema.
