Daisies

Vera Chytilova, one of my favourite directors of all time died today so I'm watching Daisies (Sedmikrasky) to celebrate her life. Daisies is the first film I really fell in love with. The cinematography and set design is so beautiful. I love Vera Chytilova for mixing anarchy with beauty and creating something entirely unique. She will always be an influence and an inspiration for me.

I took some screencaps of the movie using my iphone :p

Inspiration: I want to take a long walk along the bottom of the ocean

"A wave drew back, like a hand, then advanced and touched my foot. The drench seemed to come off the sea floor itself, where blind white fish ferried themselves by their own light through the great polar cold. I saw sharks teeth and whales ear bones littered about down there like gravestones. I waited, as if the sea could make my decision for me. A second wave collapsed over my feet, lipped with white froth, and the chill gripped my ankles with a mortal ache. My flesh winced, in cowardice, from such a death. I picked up my pocket book and started back over the cold stones to where my shoes kept their vigil in the violet light. "
