What critics compared Daisies to
A major influence on Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, this 1966 feature is chock-full of female giggling, which might be interpreted in context as the laughter of Medusa: subversive, bracing, energizing, and rather challenging to most male spectators.
In this sense, Daisies is Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, with all the theoretical pomp pumped out of it, and all the sexual shenanigans intact.
