Daisies

Presented from newly remastered materials, Second Run are delighted to present a new Blu-ray Special Edition of one of our most popular tiles - the glorious Daisies.V ra Chytilová s classic of surrealist cinema is perhaps also the most adventurous and anarchic Czech movie of the 1960s.A satirical, wild and irreverent story of rebellion. Two young women revolt against a degenerate, decayed and oppressive society, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture.Defiant feminist statement? Nihilistic, avant-garde comedy? A riotous, punk-rock poem of a film that is both hilarious and mind-warpingly innovative, Daisies remains a cinematic enigma. Refreshingly uncompromising, it continues to provoke, stimulate and entertain audiences and its influence is still felt today.Features:Daisies (Sedmikrásky, 1966) presented from a new HD transfer from originalmaterials by the Czech National Film ArchiveAudio Commentary by Daughters of Darkness Samm Deighan and Kat EllingerAudio Commentary by film historians Daniel Bird and Peter HamesJourney (Cesta, 2004): Jasmina Bla evi s acclaimed documentary film portrait of director V ra ChytilováTrailerBooklet with writing on the film by author and film programmer Peter HamesNew and improved English subtitle translationRegion Free Blu-ray (A/B/C)Original soundtrack in Dual Mono 24-bit LPCM audio
