"Daisy" was filmed in 2001, and the Czech Republic is just a Czech Republic.
The female director Vera Chitilova, who once filmed "The Game of Forbidden Fruit", is known as "the most avant-garde female director in Eastern Europe", and she is indeed amazing. In the film, two almost crazy girls, both named Mary, take the most depraved revenge method in the face of a fallen world. They enjoy the world surprisingly, and then quickly destroy it again. This is fallen art.
Anyway, this world is hopeless, just like the attitude of hippies to this world back then, after all, John Lennons also sang "Fantasy", a song that holds a glimmer of hope for the apocalyptic world.
And this pair of people, standing on the cusp of the storm, will not give up until their goals are achieved. All the while, they stage a prank. Compared with Valerie's inner purity, they prefer to face everything with self-destructive behavior, and finally they are not tolerated by reality and are suppressed by the government.
If "Valerie and Her Miraculous Week" is a bitter expletive of pre-socialism, it is a mockery of a reality already in transition. People who have changed spiritually are always in a state of irreconciliation, the old pains are gone, and the new pains make people unable to rest, only intolerable and helpless. What else can be done other than sarcasm.
