"Daisies" is one of the central movies from the Czech New Wave, which my favorite cinematic New Wave. The Czech New Wave is full of funny and politically strident small films. It arose during a brief window of artistic freedom in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. "Daisies" is a feminist, wacky, experimental, relatively plotless romp directed by the movement's most celebrated female director, Věra Chytilová.

I'll get to the library at 1:30 p.m. and try to set everything up in time for a 2 p.m. start. Get there early so you don't miss a minute. The library closes at 5, so we'll have to wrap up discussion before then. Discussions tend to last no more than about half an hour, but maybe it will last longer this time if we break into smaller groups and make it feel less like a classroom.

It's all free. We'll be in the Andy Boss Community Room on the 4th floor of the George Latimer Public Library in downtown St. Paul.

Street parking is possible, but you might consider using the light rail. A great place to park and ride is the Western Avenue stop of the Green Line. There's always parking on Aurora Avenue, one street south of University.

And feel free to sitemail me to recommend another movie for a future meeting. It would be great if you wanted to host and lead discussion too. You can go by the official list from the website 366 Weird Movies ([366 Weird Movies + Apocrypha: streaming info last updated 5/24/21 - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QY4FCE_dGGxwzonyr6R9Ja3BI7dQjbboErAqslqbKCA/edit?gid=1319151765#gid=1319151765)) or suggest something else.
