Visual Strategy in Daisies


            Chytilova’s visual strategy throughout the film is to keep the viewer on end and to keep attention. There are color changes, scene changes, and montages that happen so suddenly that you have to stay focused to know what is happening. I think by playing with the visuals in that sense, it allows you to also connect with the playful nature of the film and it’s story. It keeps the entertainment and playful aspect continuing, similar to the girls’ actions in the film, as they are repeatedly breaking things, cutting things, and humiliating people. Chytilova takes it upon herself to really get inside of the head of the two girls, and give the film the character that they have.
