SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Daisies, try these.

Fruit of Paradise poster 01

Movie / 1970 / Drama

Fruit of Paradise

Why this pick

Chytilová returns to Daisies’ collage-like editing, defiant female energy, shifting colour and biblical playfulness, but turns its anarchic visual language toward a more dreamlike Eden.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders poster 02

Movie / 1970 / Fantasy / Adventure / Drama

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

Why this pick

A Czech New Wave fever dream with similarly audacious colour, fairy-tale absurdity and feminine rebellion; its logic is sensual and mischievous rather than conventionally narrative.

Celine and Julie Go Boating poster 03

Movie / 1974 / Drama / Comedy / Fantasy

Celine and Julie Go Boating

Why this pick

Its two women build a gleefully conspiratorial world through games, repetition and performance, offering Daisies’ playful female partnership in a looser, labyrinthine form.

Jubilee poster 04

Movie / 1978 / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy

Jubilee

Why this pick

Its punk collage of women, provocation and cultural wreckage shares Daisies’ gleeful disrespect for order, with equally bold stylisation and an anti-establishment bite.

Pastoral: To Die in the Country poster 05

Movie / 1974 / Fantasy / Drama

Pastoral: To Die in the Country

Why this pick

Terayama’s theatrical sets, saturated imagery and deliberate ruptures between memory, fantasy and reality make it a strong match for Daisies’ surreal visual freedom.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

The opening sequence is that of a spinning flywheel with shots of airplanes strafing the ground. The shots of the airplanes are from US Navy footage shot in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. The first scene shows the two main characters sitting in bathing suits. Their conversation is robotic and from that point on they decide to be bad. The next scene shows Marie I and Marie II dancing in front of a tree. The tree has many fruits and resembles the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Once Marie I eats from the tree, they both fall and appear in their apartment. Marie II attempts suicide by filling the room with gas, but fails because she left the window open.
