The plot of the story isn't what appeals to me the most, and I'm a little offended by the actors' overplaying. (One of the characteristics of the Czech New Wave: "using inexperienced actors"?)
What I am most excited about is the use of color and frame, montage, editing, and scene switching.
The impressive scene
1, Jezinka, and Jarmila were sitting on the ground in swimsuits and talking, like a puppet show, with body dubbing similar to the door pivot. Immediately after their conversation, the two fell into a meadow with a fruit-laden apple tree in the middle. (Alluding to Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?) After the two bite the apple, the scene changes to an apartment. It is also worth mentioning that the scene of the conversation at the end of the pool is reproduced, but it is a wide-angle lens, which captures more of the swimming pool environment. With the development of the plot at that time, changing a composition seems to have a feeling of returning to reality. Subtle shifts in space and time instantly reinforce the narrative.
2, Color&frame, there is a scene of eating in a restaurant, constantly changing from black and white to color and monochrome. There is even a second frame to change a color. This kind of color change is imaginative and I like it very much. (Can it be said that it has the color of dada?) Another clip of the train running at the rear of the train is also a large play of colors, which is a bit amazing. Think of the effect of inserting some animation clips in many movies now. And that perspective reminded me of sitting at the rear of the tram on the second floor and looking back, that kind of feeling that the front, back, left and right are mixed together, which is a good inspiration.
3. At the end, there is a scene where two people are lying on the bed, constantly uncovering the sheets of different colors. The play, the color of the sheets, and the gestures of the two make up a very beautiful play. The layers are constant, but in a small space, such a variety is played.
Daisies, the plot is simple, the use of the camera has a spirit of experimental film, this is my favorite. Watching this film, you can feel that the director has boldly tried some new ways, shooting, editing... There are many beautiful shots in the film, the arrangement of the scene and the behavior of the characters are very harmonious, such as Jezinka, Jarmila in the Playing a game of balance on a boat left a lasting impression.
And the wheels and the ruined city in the opening and closing credits allude to World War II.
