The Easter holiday is a pretext to screen some cult films in their restored versions. Including John Waters' Multiple Maniacs and George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, two films with horrific aspects, made at the turn of the 70s. The program also includes works by Vera Chytilova, David Lynch and Terry Gilliam.
Maybe the New Wave’s most anarchic entry, Věra Chytilová’s absurdist farce follows the misadventures of two brash young women. Believing the world to be “spoiled,” they embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food, clothes, men, war—is taken seriously. Daisies is an aesthetically and politically adventurous film that’s widely considered one of the great works of feminist cinema. (Janus films)
