TAUSENDSCHÖNCHEN / Sedmikrásky

In the organizer's words:

CZE 1966, Feature film, 76 min, FSK 16

Director: Věra Chytilová

with: Jitka Cerhová, Ivana Karbanová

Language: OmU (Czech with German subtitles)

Marie and Marie - airy dresses, twiggy-esque eyeliner, dancing in front of an apple tree and eating its fruit. From then on, everything goes wrong or right again - this is where an absurdist anarchic journey in polka dot begins. Through her leading actresses, Věra Chytilová plunges the bourgeois life of the communist Czechoslovak 1960s into chaos and fills the summer air with color, spectacle, blatant female complicity and philosophical farce. TAUSENDSCHÖNCHEN is one of the central films of the Czechoslovak New Wave and one of Věra Chytilová's major works - a cinematic delight with a big appetite.
