Daisies

One of the highlights of Věra Chytilová's filmography is her grotesque moral Daisies (1966), a surrealistic narrative about a pair of young women who decide to be just as corrupt as the outside world, which does not arise from concrete socio-political realities. As a result, the biting account of conformity, petty bourgeois narrow-mindedness and the limits of light-heartedness has timeless qualities. Rebellion is the only means of self-assertion in a man's world for the pair of Marias, played by non-actors Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová. But at the same time, through their subversive actions, they do not create any real values; they only live superficial lives, establish ephemeral relationships and hide behind poses. Daisies marked the beginning of Chytilová's collaboration with Ester Krumbachová, who contributed to the eccentric costumes and script. The collage-like visual component then gave a lot of room for experimentation to the cinematographer Jaroslav Kučera. The playful parable proved its provocative power in May 1967, when it became the subject of an interpellation by the outraged MP Jaroslav Pružinec. The digital restoration of the film was financed by a donation from Mrs. Milada Kučerová and Mr. Eduard Kučera. Show more

Made in CS: The Ear

Deputy Minister Ludvík and his wife Anna are returning late in the evening from a reception with the head of state. They cannot find the keys to the villa and when Ludvík climbs over the gate, Anna finds it unlocked. They also discover other strange things. The electricity and telephone in the house are not working and the feeling of danger grows. Ludwig recalls conversations at the reception, where he learns that his senior minister has been arrested along with others. He realises that he helped write the report on the brickyards, which may have been the reason for the minister's arrest, and tries to destroy any documents that could endanger him... The main roles are played by Jiřina Bohdalová and Radoslav Brzobohatý. Show more
