Two girls both named Marie are bored, beautiful, and they don’t give a shit. The Maries, much like the Coreys get themselves into all kinds of shenanigans. In this case batting the eyelashes on their heavily lined lids, sulking around in bikinis, setting small fires, and breaking the hearts of naive sugar daddy’s all over the Czech Republic. If it all sounds a little self indulgent it is: Daisies is more surface than substance (much like the Maries themselves) but the film is just sooooo good looking and quirky that it’s hard to deny. It is also considered an important work of the Czech New Wave and pissed off their government so much it was subsequently banned and had its director in hot water with authorities for nearly a decade. How do you say “Chillllll” in Czech? Daisies is a lighthearted romp made more robust by ridiculously cool cinematography, art direction, and, of course two total babes. Sometimes it doesn’t take much.
