Daisies

March 11 @ 6:00 pm

Presented as part of CCA’s monthly series on arthouse classics and underseen cinema, Closer Looks. This month’s selection was made by CCA staff member, Grace Davis, who will offer a brief introduction before the screening.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Maybe the Czechoslovak 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. Presented from a 4K Restoration!

Total Runtime: 76 mins

“With its recent 4k restoration, “Daisies” endures as a New Wave masterpiece and hyper-feminine smorgasbord of sensory pleasure.” -Hyperallergic

“Madness follows austerity, arbitrariness follows discipline, an orgy of colors follows gray. The inconsistencies in the story, the strangeness of the setting feel effortlessly modern, as does the extremely original use of photography.” -Cahiers du Cinema

“Brace yourself for some of the most exuberant and disjunctive Pop Art imagery ever put onscreen, including scenes in which the scissors-happy hedonists shred not only objects and each other but the movie itself.” -New York Magazine
