Marie II on the bed, showcasing the fragmented mise-en-scène of the film.

Daisies (Czech: Sedmikrásky) is a 1966 Czechoslovak experimental surrealist comedy film[2][3] written and directed by Věra Chytilová. Widely regarded as a milestone of the Czechoslovak New Wave movement,[4][5] the film follows two young women, both named Marie (played by Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová), as they engage in a series of bizarre and anarchic pranks.[1] Originally conceived as a satire of bourgeois decadence, the film critiques societal norms and those who rigidly adhere to rules. Chytilová described the film as "a necrologue about a negative way of life."[6] Daisies also subverts traditional gender stereotypes, redefining its heroines on their own terms. The film is noted for its critique of authoritarianism, censorship, and patriarchy,[7][8][9] and it was banned from theaters and export in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.[10]

Chytilova doesn't indulge in free-form quirkiness for its own sake. The movie is a puckish poke at authoritarianism of all stripes, from the patriarchy to the Iron Curtain bureaucracy.

Despite stifling restrictions, an intrepid generation of filmmakers continued to challenge Communist censorship by creating art that was provocative, satirical, and deeply critical of authoritarianism.
