Isn't She Great celebrates women in comedy and femme terrorism with DAISIES (1966)! Co-hosted by Elizabeth Teets and Anthony Hudson, this edition opens with stand up by Zahnae Aquino (Seattle).
Vera Chytilová's Czech New Wave masterpiece, DAISIES, shocked theater-goers with Marie I (Ivana Karbanová) and Marie II (Jitka Cerhová)—two young and chaotic pranksters who eat too much, drink too much, terrorize men, destroy their surroundings, and bathe in milk while philosophizing about life, death, existence, and the void. Banned from Czech theatres upon its release, DAISIES is a hilarious, incisive critique of authoritarianism and patriarchy and an international milestone in woman-made cinema.
