I will be Czech director Vera Chytilova. The the subject of my post is the title of one of her most famous films, translated as Daisies in English. Now 81, Chytilova was a central figure of the Czech new wave film movement. She has been describe as the Margaret Thatcher of Czech film. When asked by an interviewer if she was a feminist she responded: "Is your newspaper a serious one?" She peers over her large sunglasses. "You ask pointless and primitive questions."She has been quoted saying, "People are generally weak, cautious and frightened of being embarrassed, whereas I'm merciless and impertinent."I have only seen her film Daises, but it profoundly affected me. I have never seen anything like it and I would love to learn more about the person who created it.

Here is a link to the first four minutes of Daisies if you are interested:
