Cinema Europe: The Many Shades of Daisies

A bold, chaotic, and subversive masterpiece of the Czechoslovak New Wave—Věra Chytilová’s Daisies (Sedmikrásky, 1966) is more than just a film. It’s a surrealist rebellion, a feminist manifesto, and a cinematic puzzle all in one. Banned for its audacity, praised for its brilliance, Daisies defies conventions with its fragmented narrative, playful anarchy, and visual extravagance.

In our latest Cinema Europe podcast episode, we dive deep into the layers of meaning behind this cult classic. Is it anti-socialist, anti-consumerist, or just anti-everything? Feminist satire or nihilistic chaos? Tune in as we explore the many interpretations of Daisies and why it still fascinates audiences today!
