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.

“My favorite Czech film, and surely one of the most exhilarating stylistic and psychedelic eruptions of the ‘60s, this madcap and aggressive feminist farce by Věra Chytilová explodes in any number of directions.”—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
