Very Little In Daisies Makes Any Sense And That's Why It's So Funny

Of all the things I expected Daises to be, a precursor to The Eric Andre Show was not one of them. Though this hallmark of 1960's Czech cinema lacks Hannibal Buress, numerous other hallmarks of that Adult Swim TV program, like random outbursts of graphic violence, disorienting editing, generating comedy by way unwitting civilians reacting to all kinds of depraved mayhem. All of these elements are around in abundance in Daisies, an off-the-wall 1966 directorial effort from iconic filmmaker Vera Chytilová. Another trait Daisies shares with The Eric Andre Show? It’s absolutely hysterical.
