DAISIES: “Extremely funny, witty and expertly-fashioned film… displays a remarkable control of filmic language, special effects, rhythm and sight gags” – Variety

Věra Chytilová (1929 – 2014 ) was one of the foremost directors of the 60s Czech New Wave. Her career from the start was daring and original with an ability to observe ordinary, everyday things in an unconventional way and from unexpected angles, revealing the moral problems of contemporary society. A highly original and uncompromising filmmaker, Chytilová directed almost 30 films, both fictions and documentaries.
