| Trivia | The film was state-approved and had limitations in its production. Many conservative supporters of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia criticized the film for its appropriation of gluttony and the alleged support it shows for the heroines. In an era of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, Vera Chytilová was "accused of nihilism" at the time of the release of Daisies (1966). The film was condemned to be unfit for the socialist ideas of the time. Banned by Czech authorities upon its release for "depicting the wanton." See more » |
