This was the most pleasurable thing I've ever watched. The scenes were beautifully put together. The style changed from black and white to sepia to colourful, sometimes with a blueish tint, sometime with other colours. I loved the saccadic camera movements that matched certain sounds, e.g. a phone ringing. The actresses' styling (clothes, hair, makeup) was also beautiful. The music was very good (e.g. an epic battle kind of piece of music during the cake fight between the girls). I liked the fact that the plot's point was to explore how the girls' reaction to the world's "badness" will end. But there were certain points that I didn't quite understand. I didn't really like how the girls sometimes spoke in a robotic manner, or how they seemed too naive and silly. Maybe that was the point: perfection isn't art anyway. I appreciate the fact that the director (Vera Chytilova) made this film in a time when women didn't have the freedom they have today. One of the main themes in the film is women breaking the barriers of the society they live in, and the rules dictating their behaviour. It really is emblematic in that sense. Overall I really enjoyed watching this film, but I didn't get where the plot was going, and where it actually went, plus the details I mentioned. But I would recommend it to anyone.

"Daisies" is the sort of film that they really only made in the 1960s and 70s and which 'intelligent' people love. It's an artsy film that is completely absurd nonsense and it's like a primer for filmmakers on how NOT to make a movie...and folks like the author of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" enjoy. I noticed that most of the reviews were by folks who enjoyed the movie and thought it brilliant...I just thought it stole about 75 minutes of my life.

The script for the film is pretty much non-existent. Instead, two young women act like real jerks and bounce from one setting to another with little, if any, coherent rhyme or reason. They go on dates with older men and behave like pigs, set fires, blow bubbles, annoy everyone around them, interrupt night club acts, take baths together, talk INCESSANTLY and pretty much think they are the two most clever folks on the planet. To me, it's like watching a couple 20-somethings behave like they are 6 year-olds and the effect is really annoying.

So should you see this film? Well, if you've seen and enjoyed absurdist films like "Buffet Froid" or "Pierrre le Fou" or like taking LSD and then watching television test patterns, by all means give the 'film' a try. As for me, life is too short to waste seeing crap like this. The only possible good I can see with this film is that it obviously annoyed the repressive Czechoslovakian government when it debuted and it was labeled as 'depicting the wanton'. I would have described it as 'depicting the stupid'.

Blond Marie and brunette Marie are best friends and chaos creators. Brunette Marie declares that the world is spoiled and they're going to do the spoiling.

The girls are doing sexy baby acting. Their characters are bratty children living off of their sex appeal. Mostly, they are sex teases tricking food out of horny men. The film is experimental, doing a lot of different things all over the place. It's trying very hard to be surreal. Sometimes, it's using wacky sounds. It keeps switching from black and white to color while sometimes doing different color filters. I find a lot of it akin to student films trying to be artistic. It does stumble on some interesting effects once in awhile. The streaming train looks cool and the poker dot dresses are fun. There are intriguing edits. That's this movie. It's throwing a lot of spaghetti on the wall and some of them actually sticks. I just wish that it could limit the number of weird effects to give the best ideas more weight. It's strangely fascinating and an intriguing look into cinema at a certain time in a certain place. It's saying something about the atmosphere in Prague and the approach of spring.
