Daisies (Czech: Sedmikrásky) is a 1966 Czechoslovak satirical comedy film, co-written and directed by Věra Chytilová. Widely regarded as a milestone of the Czechoslovak New Wave, the film follows two young women, both named Marie (played by Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová), as they engage in a series of bizarre, rebellious and anarchic pranks. Originally conceived as a satire of bourgeois decadence, the film critiques societal norms and those who rigidly adhere to rules. Chytilová described the film as "a necrologue about a negative way of life." Daisies also subverts traditional gender stereotypes, redefining its heroines on their own terms. The film is noted for its critique of Communism
