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

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.

DAISIES screens June 6-10 at AFS Cinema. Tickets and more info available via the link in our bio.
