This week’s selection was made by Ashla, the Wende Museum’s Getty Marrow Undergraduate Curatorial Intern:

Exciting, bizarre, and vibrant, Chytilová’s fantastical world comes to life through the loud presence of Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová as they navigate through the highs and lows of material decadence and existential ponderance. I chose Daisies as this week’s Film Pick for its adventurousness in storytelling and aesthetics, as its pair of muses dance in shimmery scenes of self-empowerment, never fearing the absurdity of their realities nor the advances of their suitors.

Available to stream for free on Kanopy.

Virtual Film Picks are inspired by the in-person Friday Night Films at the Wende program series. This selection is part of a curated list of weekly movie suggestions that can be watched at home, in conjunction with #WendeOnline.
