Věra Chytilová’s surrealist cinema classic is perhaps also the most adventurous and anarchic Czech movie of the 1960s – a satirical, wild and irreverent story of rebellion which sees two young women revolt against a degenerate, decayed and oppressive society, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture.

Defiant feminist statement? Nihilistic, avant-garde comedy? This cinema enigma is a riotous, punk-rock poem of a film that’s both hilarious and mind-warpingly innovative.

Screening as part of Surrealism Season - in partnership with University of Leicester to mark the centenary of the publication of the Surrealist Manifesto in Paris.
