450. Sedmikrasky

Sedmikrasky
Daisies
1966
Directed by Vera Chytilová










Note: I have no idea why is the font is freaking out but the black highlighter with white font seems to be the only way the text is readable.  I am honestly one step away from going all Office Space on this computer.


I have been busy all day procrastinating and not getting anything done so I thought I would take a break with this blog.  Now, let's take a quick guess if I am going to like this film.  It has no plot, two bratty girls, and is incredibly pretentious. 


The movie stars two characters who both happen to be named Marie.  God, I already hate it.  It is like One Hundred Years of Solitude all over again.  All right, stay on point.  The girls eat from a Tree of Knowledge and then...oh fuck it, it is all nonsense anyway.


This film was directed by a woman, which is shocking to me, since I thought that the film definitely had a male gaze.  I mean, watching two women frolic around for an hour or so does not seem like something that a woman would come up with.


Another somewhat pointless film and I hope something comes along soon to break the cycle.


RATING: **---
