The 1966 Czechoslovakian film Daisy is avant-garde and bold, involving too many labels: anarchism, surrealism, existentialism, avant-garde, and in the current society, it is also a wonderful work that makes people shine. In fact, the two female protagonists in the film are not human. The film hints at many details: the robot-like movements in the title, the workers at work ignore their existence, the farmer on the farm and the gardener in the garden do not notice them either. . They should be a stream of surreal desires, a stream of emotions. The mechanical background music in the film and the background sound of the clock give people a sense of space and time confusion. It is like observing this bizarre world through a glass of wine after being drunk, delirium and confusion.
The director constantly wastes and tramples food through the two girls, like gluttonous beasts, to express a kind of depravity. As the two girls in the film said, they just want to be worse. The degeneration of the film still remains at the material and physiological level, and the interspersed montage images are like vines sprouting from the spiritual world in the material soil, which is absurd and interesting.
What is remarkable is the way the film is presented. Just the right montage. God made ordinary train tracks. A fragmented picture of "intercutting" that is extremely wasteful of film.
