It is so cool, weird, and fun... A statement against the violence in this world.

Chytilova overtly says, 'I'm going to use cinema as a weapon against a world that uses these kinds of weapons'.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Chytilova understands the feminine decorum expected of women in Czech society, and she undermines it at every turn... Irrespective of the film's political specifics, it's this rebellious spirit that feels so fresh.

As subversive as it is hilarious.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 6, 2015

A pretentiously kookie and laboriously overblown mod farce.

| Aug 26, 2014

My favorite Czech film, and surely one of the most exhilarating stylistic and psychedelic eruptions of the 60s, this madcap and aggressive feminist farce by Vera Chytilova explodes in any number of directions.

From elderly apparatchiks to cinematic continuity, nothing is sacred, as the director punctures the illusion of "civilized" society and viewer's frontal lobes.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 3, 2012

The film's daisies are young girls who have reached pubescence, and are fully aware of their sexual power, but aren't ready to embrace it, so they test it first.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 3, 2012
