As many have said, a somewhat less playful and "fun" film than Daisies, though for my money it's also even more aesthetically innovative and in a sense more "mature". I'd be lying if i said it didn't somewhat wear out it's welcome at times, although at it's best it's nothing less than enchanting. Yet i have to admit that at this point i kind of feel like if you've seen one Czech New Wave film, you've sort of seen them all. It's definitely a neat aesthetic in limited doses though.

A modern retelling of the Garden of Eden. Vera Chytilová again utilizes very unusual and interesting techniques, and veers away from a straightforward narrative, but this one doesn't have the same fun, freewheeling spirit as Daisies. Instead it gets bogged down with almost Maya Deren-esque imagery, and the threads it follows are rarely as engaging as they could be. I liked some parts (especially the wild intro) but it needs more oomph.

After the dazzling beginning, I have to admit it took me a while to figure out that the movie is actually not about Adam and Eve. Anyway it really didn't blow me away the way Daisies did. It's just as artsy and intellectual as Dasies but only about 60% as erotic, 40% as crazy and 20% as humorous. This one really takes itself way too seriously and that just spoiled it for me... I couldn't follow, lost interest, wasn't amused... Chytilova disappoints.
