Description
A pair of provocative films by women directors. In
Daisies
(Vera Chytilova, Czechoslovakia, 1966, 74 mins.), a key film from the Czech New Wave, two uninhibited young women (both named Marie) turn against the numbing state of society in a madcap flurry of pranks and material destruction. Beneath the outrageous surface of this avant-garde comedy is a defiant feminist statement and an acknowledgement of the desperation that goes hand-in-hand with rebellion--a state of mind represented by one girl's attempted suicide. In Czech with English subtitles. This is joined by
Waiting for the Moon
(USA, 1987, 101 mins.), Jill Godmilow's meditation on Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Linda Hunt plays Alice B. Toklas and Linda Bassett is Gertrude Stein, in a personal drama about the two remarkable women who were the focal point of Paris expatriate culture and society. In English.
Vera Chytilova/Jill Godmilow---Czechoslovakia/USA---1966/1987---175 mins.
