sedmikrásky (1966)


This title translates to "Daisies" and follows the shenanigans and hijinx of two Czech teenage girls who overindulge in food, alcohol, and the hearts of older men. Perhaps needless to say, it was banned by the communist government at the time. I'd been noticing bits and pieces of the film around tumblr as the set and costume design encompasses a lot of what I find aesthetically pleasing (especially when combined) including florals, ruffles, velvet, short skirts, lacy undies, magazine clippings, and the thickest of dark eyeliner. It's tough to say what is "sixties inspired" in any design discipline these days as so much of what was developed then has simply evolved and will never disappear from the mainstream, for good reason!

I'd never heard of Me Without You before I came across it on CBC at 2am a few weeks ago. The film follows the friendship of two girls through the sixties - present and is a bit like an extended music video, in that the tunes, fashions and general aesthetic of each decade are central to the plot. The hair, makeup and costumes on Marina (the blonde) are esp amazing and remind me a bit of a new wave Stevie Nicks. And yes, that is Michelle Williams.
