Review of Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974) by Martin T — 31 Dec 2009
In some ways a rip-off of Daisies, but enough differences to make it fresh. In Chytilova's film, the girls are playful forces of destruction; here they are playful forces of creativity. This film is really about the power and joy of imagination, and it's executed in a way that incorporates surreal elements without ever getting too confusing.
It does get rather tedious at times, though, and most of scenes are lingered on far longer than necessary. The girls are alternately charming and annoying.
