Two bored girls, both named Marie, decide to take revenge on consumer-oriented society with a series of pranks and the destruction of material goods. With its bold use of color and visual effects, its anarachic story line and slapstick finale, Daisies emerged as one of the most adventurous films of the Czech New Wave and enjoyed enormous success both at home and abroad after it was finally released by authorities. Despite the film’s comic posture, its aims were indeed political. According to Chytilová, “one might sum up this film as a necrologue about a negative way of life.”
