SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“In [Chytilová’s] visually arresting, capricious film – full of colorful experiments, dazzling collage effects and surrealist antics – two dangerously bored young women have anarchic fun.”
76 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Věra Chytilová. In Czech with English subtitles.
One of the most anarchic films of all time, Vera Chytilová’s absurdist farce follows the misadventures of two brash young women. Believing the world to be “spoiled,” they embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food, clothes, men, war—is taken seriously. An aesthetically and politically adventurous film that’s widely considered one of the great works of feminist cinema.
