259 of 1001 Movies: Daisies (1966)

It was as expected is about the biggest thing I can say about this movie. If you're an art house fanatic though they seem to really enjoy it and rate it highly. Honestly, the overall reviews are very positive. I have to commend it for it's use of imagery, but I've never been huge on having no plot, and characters that are virtually so cartoonish there is nothing I can connect with. The two leads in this movie though are reflecting some heavy concepts of the 60's, and even easy to relate to themes now. They don't know what they stand for or who they want to be, so they just end up being bad.

Summary: Two teen girls, Marie and Marie II, begin pulling pranks and leading a destructive life once they believe that they understand everyone is spoiled, so why shouldn't they be to? They end up going out on dates with older men, breaking younger men's hearts, and demolishing belongings that aren't theirs. They challenge the world in their world, but by the end of the world they are questioning just if they want to be bad anymore.
