Věra Chytilová was an avant-garde Czech film director and pioneer of Czech cinema.
At the age of 28 she was accepted into the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU). While attending FAMU she studied underneath renowned film director Otakar Vavra, graduating in 1962.
Chytilová is best known for games once highly controversial film Daisies (Daisies) – (1966). Daisies is known for its un-sympathetic characters, lack of a continuous narrative and an abrupt visual style. Chytilová states that she structured Daisies it “restrict [the spectator's] feeling of involvement and lead him to an understanding of the underlying idea or philosophy”. The film was banned within Czechoslovakia upon its initial release in 1966 until 1967, but in 1966 the film won the Grand Prix at the Bergamo Film Festival in Italy.
After Daisies, the government made it very difficult for Chytilová to find work within Czechoslovakia, even though she was never officially classified as a 'blacklisted' director. After the Soviet Union invasion in 1968 it was virtually impossible for her to find work and she resorted it directing commercials under her husband's name, Jaroslav Kucera.
