The life of two girls, Marie I and Marie II, who try to understand the meaning of the world and of their life

Funny Nice and silly anarcho psychedelic feminist food fetish movie from the Czech new wave Very original for the time and quite entertaining. Lots of Slapstick elements but also some things very similar to Jan Svankmajer's style in particular the montages, colages and this obsession with food. It is actually quite intriguing, both directors are from Czech and are about from the same time. Jan Svankmajer started to make shorts around that time so I wouldn't be surprised if they actually came from the same study or did work together (or if Jan Svankmajer simply just got inspired by this movie), it is way to similar to be just a coincidence
Anyway, not a masterpiece, but a funny and grotesque farce
