a place where i share my thoughts on films i've seen.

recommendations and discussion are always welcome!

I’ll be keeping an eye on this, to see your reviews and get an idea on your tastes of movies. It’ll help me with recommendations in the future.

Belated welcome to the board. I’ll be following…

Daisies
Věra Chytilová, 1966

Daisies feels like one big celebration.

We follow Marie and Marie as they enjoy life.
They dress up, dance, feast, and laugh, without caring about the consequences.

As they say at the start of the film:

"If everything's going bad in this world... so... are... we!"

There isn't much of a classical narrative to be found. Rather there are thematically correlated scenes, often connected through slapstick inspired transitions. This film exudes energy, which makes it a joy to watch all throughout. The soundtrack accentuates the slapstick elements of the film, enhancing the comedic effect.

Věra Chytilová uses a wide range of cinematic techniques to fill the film with unusual visual choices, which fits well with the energy and enthusiasm that shines throughout the film. She turns Daisies into a feast for the eyes, almost as abundant as the ones Marie and Marie indulge in.

Overall I had a lot of fun with Daisies. It's short, bold and I would recommend it.
The visuals alone make this worth a watch!
