Jackie and Greg run amok for Věra Chytilová's DAISIES from 1966. Topics of discussion include its playful construction, what it says about the time and place in which it was made, how that differs from what Chytilová intended, and why it's an enduring feminist classic.#28 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The Greatest Films of All Time" list.  https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: sceneandheardpod.comGraphic Design: Molly PintoMusic: Andrew CoxEditing: Greg KleinschmidtGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe

Although science fiction cinema did not begin in the USA it seems that by the 1950s Hollywood had tapped into the ravenous appetite the public had for the genre. The period is now known as the Golden Age of Science Fiction with an array of films ranging in style, topic and quality. Themes of space travel, alien invasion, nuclear fears and cold war paranoia are strewn across the decade. Meanwhile in Czechoslovakia Karel Zamen was working on making some cinematic masterpieces made for children based on the works of Jules Verne and other late 19th century authors. In 1958 he made the film Invention for Destruction based on Verne's novel Facing the Flag. In 1961 this was dubbed in English and retitled The Fabulous World of Jules Verne and distributed by Warner Bros. The visual style is based on late 19th century etchings and illustrations of Verne's novels which you can take a look at on this Instagram post. The film went on not only to inspire many prominent filmmakers like Hayao Miyazaki, Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam but also a cohort of writers who cite his film as being the origin for the style of steampunk science fiction. I spoke to two wonderful guests to understand the historical context and ongoing influence of the film. Thomas Lamarre is a Professor of Film, Media, and East Asian Languages and Civilisations at the University of Chicago. He is also the author of the Steam Punk cinema chapter in the Oxford Handbook of New Science Fiction Cinemas. Mary Heimann is Professor of Modern History at Cardiff University. She is also the author of the book Czechoslovakia: The State that Failed.

Moody Movies: Your Monster (2024), Riddle of Fire (2023), Morgiana(1972), Fast Color (2018), Fangs (1981)Welcome back to Moody Movie Club! In this episode, Kylie and Elliott are joined by their Letterboxd bestie, Michel, to watch five of his picks. Along the way, they feel deep affection for fairytales, watch a film kind of like Wes Anderson (but in a different, better font), indulge in dark decadence with Czech New Wave, celebrate an underseen superhero flick (and lament how it feels a mere twenty minutes into our futures), and consider a not-a-RHPS-RHPS film made in Egypt.

Tom Luddy was a quiet titan of cinema. He presided over the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley for some 10 years, co-founded and directed The Telluride Film Festival for nearly 50 years, produced some 14 movies, match-made dozens of international love affairs, and foraged for the most beautiful, political, important, risky films and made sure there was a place for them to be seen in the world. And that the people making this powerful work were known and knew each other. Tom Luddy with his photographic memory, his infinite rolodex, his encyclopedic knowledge of global cinema and his catalytic ability to connect people, caused the most unusual of collaborations to come to be. Tom championed the French New Wave, the Czech New Wave, Brazilian cinema novo, dissident Soviet cinema, directors Francis Coppola, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Agnes Varda, Les Blank, Paul Schrader, Agnieszka Holland, Barry Jenkins, Laurie Anderson and countless others.Tom passed away on February 13, 2023. There's a giant hole in the screen without him here. But his DNA is in the hundreds of filmmakers, musicians, writers and activists he nurtured and inspired.The Tom Luddy Connection: The Man, The Movies, The Rolodex was produced by Evan Jacoby and The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) in collaboration with Brandi Howell and Nathan Dalton. Mixed by Jim McKee.

In this episode, Rachel Pronger of the Invisible Women film collective brings us the story of iconoclastic Czech film multi-talent Ester Krumbachová. Ester was a screen writer, costume and stage designer, author, and film director. Her work was quirky, colorful, and political, lashing out at patriarchy and authoritarianism. She had a defining influence on Czech New Wave cinema, collaborating on more than twenty movies from the early 1960s on, including the delightful Daisies  and the perplexing Murdering the Devil. Her involvement in the satire A Report on the Party and Guests meant she was blacklisted from working in film by the Czechoslovakian communist party during much of the 1980s. She worked under pseudonyms, painted and made jewelry, returning to the film industry in the 1990s. DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to set the scene.  See some clips of Ester's work and get more info on our episode notes page Find out more about the Invisible Women film collective here Find out more about Rachel Pronger here For more about Ester, click here Want to see a Dead Ladies Show in person?

We are back from our break for our SEASON 3 PREMIERE!!! Hey! We've lasted longer than most Netflix shows! To kick off 2024, we are celebrating Criterion Channel's wonderful CAT COLLECTION for our CAT EPISODE! Cats rule the Internet, and this podcast is on the Internet, so kitty cats rule us as well.

In this highly unusual Subgenre episode, host Josh Dasal and his guest host, filmmaker NC Jones, get lost in one of the oddest time travel movies - heck, oddest movies - ever covered here, the 1979 Czech New Wave absurdist film, Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea, directed by Jindrich Polák. It's a space-age, time travel, doppleganger, Nazi-defeating love story set behind the Iron Curtain, with a theme song built for the club.  Topics of discussion include actors playing twins, special effects magic, and how to avoid explaining how time travel works in a time travel film.

THIS WEEK: Daisies (1966) and Freddy Got Fingered (2001)When it comes to films that are dialed in on extreme provocation and destruction, it's hard to beat Věra Chytilová's landmark Czech New Wave classic, Daises or Tom Green's unfairly maligned 2001 magnum opus, Freddy Got Fingered. One is a complex takedown of patriarchal norms and authoritarianism. The other has Rip Torn getting covered in elephant cum.

On the two hundred and fourth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew are stealing stuff off the raffle table. Christian and Jericho get in front of the mics to talk about a couple entries from the Czech New Wave. First up is Milos Forman's final Czech film, THE FIREMEN'S BALL. Then we discuss the bold debut feature from Vera Chytilova, SOMETHING DIFFERENT. We also discuss beauty pageants, gymnastics, and just a dash of Robert Zemeckis' Pinocchio.

In the twenty-second episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss Milos Forman's early Czech New Wave masterwork about the self-discovery of the individual juxtaposed against the absurd socialist central planning of the collective in the wonderfully elusive tragicomedy coming-of-age film Loves of a Blonde (1965).

In the twentieth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the radically experimental Czech New Wave filmmaker Věra Chytilová and her anarchic political confrontation against Soviet censorship, scarcity, and oppression in the unconventional feminist hang out film Daisies (1966).

Back in January 2014, Wendi Freeman, Tim Merrill and myself started a monthly podcast to look at the world of films about music and musicians (or any tenuous link to that world). Occasionally, we would talk about musicals that weren't actually about music, cos rules were meant to be broken. From episode 2, fellow music and film fan, Bernard Stickwell joined the team, an See Hear was on its way. The first film discussed on the show was a documentary about a musical genius who was just not appreciated by the wider population.....actually, naaaahhh.....we discussed Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies. We are truly happy 8 and a half years later to say Welcome to Episode 100 of See Hear Podcast. If you're gonna commemorate a milestone, you have to go BIG. Bernie and I planned a discussion of a BIG film with two of the giants of the podcasting world. We look at Milos Forman's celebrated 1984 film, Amadeus with our great friends, Mike White of The Projection Booth (and quite a few other podcasts) and Will Smith of The Gentlemen's Guide To Midnite Cinema.  The film brought saw Forman return to Czechoslovakia. He hadn't been back following the Warsaw Pact Invasion of 1968. He'd already made some wonderful cinema as part of the Czech New Wave, but headed to America to continue to make films that made him known the world over. Much of his catalogue of films focused on stories showing the common man trying to overcome oppression by the state / corporation / aristocracy. In Amadeus, we get the story from the perspective of composer Antonio Salieri (brilliantly played by F. Murray Abraham) of how he set out to ruin Woilfgang Amadeus Mozart (a magnificent performance from Tom Hulce) because he was insanely and irrationally jealous of his ability to create perfect art. Mike, Will, Bernie and I take the time to discuss classical music, the working class, religion, oppression by the state, diagetic vs non diagetic music, arrogance, jealousy, farting and playing too many notes. Bernie and I are grateful to our great friends, Will and Mike for agreeing to add some class to our little show by bringing some wonderful conversation to the mix....and we nearly get away with no references to that Falco song.... You can hear Will along with his partner Sam U. Rai on The Gentlemen's Guide To Midnite Cinema at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gentlemens-guide-to-midnite-cinema/id291696146...They've been bringing class to the trash since 1977. Mike has several podcasts you should hear (we talk about them all), but the flagship is The Projection Booth which you can check out at https://www.projectionboothpodcast.com/ Check out what he does and discover why he is the James Brown of podcasting. Huge thanks go to our partner in crime still on sabbatical, Tim Merrill.

In this episode we finally get to the 1970s!! Listen as we try to figure out what the hell is happening in the Czech New Wave film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970). Do you know what happened in this movie? Because we certainly don't. Then we hop in the time machine and pull up all the way to present day to discuss the newest film from the TWISTED MIND of Jordan Peele, Nope (2022). Shout out to our day one Tim Stockdale.

Directed by Vera Chytilova and released in 1966, Daisies is a story about two young girls named Marie, living in Czechoslovakia, causing mischief and having fun. This inventive film and product of the fantastic Czech New Wave is a wonder of individualism.

A historical-psycho-erotic surrealist film exploring themes of womanhood, Christianity, and Freudian-infused takedowns of family and cultural identity?  Plus vampires?!  Hey Criterion Collection: Get out of my head!  Director Jaromil Jireš serves up a whimsically horrifying dreamscape in this seminal Czech New Wave classic. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be reviewing and discussing Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979) with Briana and Maddy of the Chapter One: Take Two podcast.

Vera Chytilová was the most important woman director of the Czechoslovak New Wave – although she remains relatively unknown outside of Central Europe. As the first female student of the prestigious FAMU film school in Prague, she had to fight in order to do things her own way. During the creative explosion of the Czechoslovak New Wave, she made her most well known film ‘Daisies' (1966) – a surrealist pop-art comedy, about two young women who set their minds on creating humorous destruction around them. The 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of her country stopped Chytilová's promising career dead in its tracks, but unlike Miloś Forman (‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 1975) and others, she refused to emigrate, despite the huge personal cost. After seven years of professional exile, she was allowed to return to filmmaking in the late 1970s, once again finding critical success. After the privatisation of the Czech film industry in the 1990s, she was one of the first to adapt with ‘The Inheritance' (1992) – a scathing satire on the effect free-for-all capitalism was having on her fellow citizens. Having never compromised on her beliefs, she remained a moral authority in her country until her death in 2014, and continues to inspire those lucky enough to come across her films for the first time.

Gates comes on the pod to evangelize Věra Chytilová's DAISIES, a gem of the Czech New Wave and an amazing (and highly underrated) food film. In DAISIES, meals are key to sugar babying, class deconstruction, and women's pursuit of pleasure. Come for the subversive feminist romp, stay for the astounding food fight.

Guest Co-Hosts: Ben Buckingham, Kat EllingerWe wrap up the first Czechtember series with a film from director Oldrich Lipský, 1966's Happy End, an experimental comedy (which is as unusual as that sounds) that puts scenes in opposite order and runs motion backward from the death of our main character (Vladimír Menšík) while he gives the voice-over account of life from birth. Of course, this provides us with constant ironic juxtapositions.The film was co-written by Lipský and Milos Macourek, the screenwriter behind some of the best comedies out of Czechoslovakia in the '60s and '70s.Kat Ellinger and Ben Buckingham join Mike to discuss Happy End and other favorite Czech comedies. 

Guest Co-Host: Samm DeighanCzechtember continues with a look at Juraj Herz's The Cremator (AKA Spalovac mrtvol). Released in 1968, the year of the Prague Spring, the film stars Rudolf Hrusínský as Karl (or Roman) Kopfrkingl, a man dedicated to the idea of liberating the soul from the body through the practice of cremation.Samm Deighan joins Mike to discuss collaborators and the madness that gripped the world in the 1930s and '40s.

Special Guest: Peter HamesGuest Co-Hosts: Kat Ellinger, Kevin HeffernanCzechtember continues with a look at Pavel Jurácek's Case for a Rookie Hangman (AKA Prípad pro zacínajícího kata) from 1970. Very loosely based on the third part of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, the film tells the tale of Lemuel Gulliver (Lubomír Kostelka) in the land of Balnibarbi, a surrealistic landscape where Lemuel has a hard time finding his footing, literally.Kat Ellinger and Kevin Heffernan join Mike to discuss the malleability of Swift's satire and The Key to Determining Dwarfs, or The Last Travel of Lemuel Gulliver.Links:Buy Case for a Rookie Hangman on DVDBuy Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan SwiftBuy The Czechoslovak New Wave by Peter HamesBuy Avant-garde to New Wave: Czechoslovak Cinema, Surrealism and the Sixties by Jonathan Owen 

We kick off the first annual "Czechtember" with a look at the most-easily accessible films of the Czech New Wave, the charmingly disarming 1966 film Closely Watched Trains (AKA Ostre Sledované Vlaky or Closely Observed Trains). Co-written and directed by Jirí Menzel and based upon Bohumil Hrabal's novella, the film stars Václav Neckár as Milos Hrma, a young man from a family of eccentrics. Not wanting to work too hard, he gets a job at the local railway station where he's mentored by the earthly Hubicka (Josef Somr) and Nazi-sympathizer Zednicek (Vlastimil Brodský).Samm Deighan and Jonathan Owen (author of Avant-garde to New Wave: Czechoslovak Cinema, Surrealism and the Sixties) join Mike to discuss Menzel's subversive film and the way it plays with "sex comedy" themes against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.Learn more about your ad choices.

Co-written and directed by Jirí Menzel and based upon Bohumil Hrabal's novella, the film stars Václav Neckár as Milos Hrma, a young man from a family of eccentrics. Not wanting to work too hard, he gets a job at the local railway station where he's mentored by the earthly Hubicka (Josef Somr) and Nazi-sympathizer Zednicek (Vlastimil Brodský).Samm Deighan and Jonathan Owen (author of Avant-garde to New Wave: Czechoslovak Cinema, Surrealism and the Sixties) join Mike to discuss Menzel's subversive film and the way it plays with "sex comedy" themes against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.

Continuing our discussion of fairy tales in films, we discuss Jaromil Jires's film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, the story of a young woman coming of age.And who better to join Mike in discussing the film than Kevin Heffernan, Axel Kohagen, and Nicholas Schlegel?This week's special guest, Peter Hames, is the author of several books about the Czech and Slovak New Wave.Support The Projection Booth on PatreonLike The Projection Booth on FacebookFollow The Projection Booth on Twitter

On this ILLUSTRIOUS episode we discuss DAISIES, THE CREMATOR, and VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS with poster master mind and great friend of the show, Justin Miller (Hauntlove)!!!     This episode is a LONG ONE! Interesting that the number one complain Justin has about the show is that, at times, the WACK AND ON TRACK section of the show can run too long, and his was 45 minutes! That was AFTER I cut out a story about his old nick name “Fred Nasty” which was his old screen name on Centerfuse! The world is a weird place. We also talked a good deal about all kinds of other things, from DEADPOOL to GOOSEBUMPS, to Justin getting hit during his favorite band AMERICAN NIGHTMARE! I talked to much as usual, and it is a real bummer, but this episode was GREAT and Justin was an awesome guest we cannot wait to have on again! I should include all kinds of links, like to that upcoming JOHN CARPENTER SHOW  but for real editing 2 hours of show gets old. In fact, here we go with sound notes SOUND NOTES The sound turned out pretty cool, though eventually we need spit guards and shit on our mics so we have less weird mouth stuff going on. Sorry about all of that. Recently, on both shows I edit, I have been trying to cut out all the dead air and weird vocal ticks we have. I did some of that on this episode at first, but honestly I got discouraged by the length of the show, so the last hour or more is just raw feed. That is what we sound like. It sucks, I know. Sorry.

Milos Forman's 1965 film is probably the best of the Czech New Wave, and it's hilarious.

David and Trevor conclude their conversation about the set, discussing Return of the Prodigal Son, Capricious Summer and The Joke.

David and Trevor discuss Pearls of the Deep, Daisies and A Report on the Party and Guests in the first of a two-part series.
