“One of the most exhilarating stylistic and psychedelic eruptions of the ’60s.”
—The Chicago Reader

“Thirty-six years later, this Molotov cocktail of fizzy champagne and feminist theory has not lost any of its combustible carbonation … the most erotic eating sequences ever shot (sorry, Tom Jones).”
—Time Out 

Chic floral headpieces, paisley bikinis, gluttonous dinner parties: the world has gone “bad,” and now Marie I and II are going to go “bad” as well. From groundbreaking Czech New Wave director Věra Chytilová comes a gleefully batty, psychedelic rebellion set in a surreal utopia where young women liberate themselves from polite society. Banned upon its release, DAISIES now stands as a free‑spirited, anarchic feminist classic and an ode to girlhood in all its revelry.
