A still from Daisies.

Two young women, both called Marie, cadge dinners from older men, play pranks and finally smash up a banquet laid out for someone else, until a chandelier comes down on them. Jaroslav Kučera's camera switches between colour, black and white and tinted footage, and the leads, Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbanová, were not professional actresses.
