Věra Chytilová: 'Sedmikrásky' / 'Daisies' (1966)

Věra Chytilová's Sedmikrásky / Daisies (1966): mix colorful Dada, Surrealism, psychedelia, feminism and anarchic freedom vs. staid authoritarian patriarchy, and voila!  

Two years before they sent the tanks in, the Russian overlords didn't like it. Chytilová was banned as moviemaker in Czechoslovakia until the mid-1970s.

Marie (Ivana Karbanová) in an artistic setting: her room. A little bit Dada, a little bit Surrealism?

Floating fonts, flying numbers. If it ain't Dada, it won't Do!

Green apples of Surrealism. We can play chess now, or checkers.
