History Film / Daisies

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The opening credits have a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII SceneryGorn montage, which eventually cuts to two bored girls in bikinis. However, the girls' complaint about how the world [[CrapsackWorld has gone bad]] toes directly to the previous montage and their consequent actions are what drives the (un)plot.

* CompensatedDating: How the two Marie can afford to gobble such amount of haute cuisine and other fun stuff. Although they usually [[TheTrickster play pranks]] sugar daddy that [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor they end up not enjoying at all their date]].

** Their seemingly endless crave for food (with EroticEating, no less) has obvious sexual undertones.
* EroticEating: Put together a MsFanservice and a FoodPorn setting and the result is predictable. Although the girls' voracious appetite is a {{subversion}} - sometimes it's EroticEating, most of the time is plainly JabbaTableManners.
* FanDisservice: Marie I and Marie II unapologetically smash every visual stereotypes of femininity with their beautiful, cute and feminine appearance while revelling in their gluttony and increasing antisocial behaviour.
* FilleFatale: Marie I and Marie II are a twenty-something example as they engage in dates with much older men who are completely at their mercy and act with a childishly mischievous attitude.
* FoodPorn: {{Exploited}}. The two girls spend most of the film ravenously eating as much food as they can stuff in their mouth. The infamous sequence with the {{food fight}} is a supreme example. Never watch this movie with an empty stomach.
* {{Foodfight}}: When Marie I and Marie II sneak in a lavish banquet presumably made for high-ranking leaders, they put up a food fight that [[TrashTheSet destroys the entire room]].

* GluttonyMontage: An infamously long one. The protagonists order a shameless amount of food, which their sugar daddy has to pay much to his chagrin. And folks, ''[[JabbaTableManners did they eat it]]''.
* GoodCopBadCop: The girls' dynamics with their sugar daddies. Brunette Marie goes on dates, Redhead Marie shows up uninvited, orders a ln insane amount of food and asks the gentleman rude questions, while Brunette acts as if she's embarrassed but does nothing to stop her "sister".
* JabbaTableManners: The film depicts the most unimaginable bad table manners as the girls unceremoniously eat anything they can stuff in their mouths and then some.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Marie II, a redhead, wears light clothes and flowers in her hair, while Marie I, a dark-haired brunette, dark clothes and is the one who usually goes to dates with older men.
* MindScrew: The whole movies is a surreal sequence of seemingly unimportant events. It's up to the viewer giving an interpretation.
* MsFanservice: One of the most memorable things of the movie is how ridiculously good-looking are the protagonists. Which is in stark contrast with [[FetishRetardant how they behave]].

* TrainStationGoodbye: A parody of this trope. The protagonists keep sharing tearful goodbyes with the men they date, while actually aren't looking forward to be freed from them.
* TrashTheSet: The protagonists are fond of this, first they set their flat on fire, then destroy a lavish banquet with a {{Foodfight}} to the death.

* FilleFatale: Marie I and Marie II are somewhere between their late teens and early twenties and engage in dates with much older men who are completely at their mercy.

* GirlishPigtails: Marie I wears her hair in pigtails reminiscent of Creator/BrigitteBardot. {{Justified}} since it was a popular hairstyle during a hugeTheSixties.
* GluttonyMontage: An infamously long one. Tue protagonists order a shameless amount of food, which obviously their sugar daddy has to pay. And folks, ''[[JabbaTableManners did they eat it]]''.

* FlowersInHerHair: Marie I wears a daisy flower crown to look like "a virgin".

* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Marie II, a redhead, wears light clothes and FlowersInHerHair, while Marie I, a dark-haired brunette, dark clothes and is the one who usually goes to dates with older men.

* SeamlessScenery: The Maries are sitting around in bikinis in the opening scene. Marie I slaps Marie II, who falls over--and falls into a completely different scene, outdoors in a grassy field, wearing a dress. The film also shifts from black and white to color at that point.

* GirlishPigtails: Marie II wears her hair in pigtails reminiscent of Creator/BrigitteBardot. {{Justified}} since it was a popular hairstyle during a hugeTheSixties.

* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Redhead!Marie wears light clothes and FlowersInHerHair, while Brunette!Marie has dark hair, dark clothes and is the one who usually goes to dates with older men.

* TheTrickster: The film depicts the girls screwing with everyone they meet and even with each other.

''Daisies'' (''Sedmikrásky'' in Czech) is a 1966 Czechoslovak {{dramedy}} directed by Věra Chytilová. It's generally regarded as one of the highest points for the Nová Vlna movement (the Czech New Wave). It follows two teenage girls, both named Marie, who refuse to play by the rules of the world they live in -- since the world is bad, they decide they'll be bad too, and spend the rest of the film engaging in weird pranks and generally antisocial behaviour.

->'''Marie II:''' If everything's going bad...
->'''Marie I:''' ...so...
->'''Marie II:''' ...we're going...
->'''Marie I:''' ...bad...
->'''Marie II:'''...as...
->'''Marie I:''' ...well!
