SUBLIME CINEMA #638 - DAISIES

Vera Chytilová was a prolific and underrated Czech director who specialized in avant-garde, sociopolitically charged comedies, which sometimes got her into trouble with government censors. ‘Daisies’ was initially banned by the Czechoslovak government due to its depictions and imagery of wasting food (of all things) and then went on to be very well received elsewhere, which always ends up the case.

The Fabulous Baron Munchausen [Baron Prášil] (1961)

With this maximalist adventure, Karel Zeman assembled his most sophisticated implementation of his mélange approach to filmmaking special effects. From even the opening frames, elements move in multiple planes of direction, not merely side to side but coming towards the camera or moving away. Live action elements intermingle freely with stop-motion rigs and illustrated elements. The world is bathed in simple color palettes, blue denoting space or nighttime, red associated with conflict, and orange evoking daytime or tropical locales. This feels on every level not like a vintage lithograph as in Invention for Destruction but rather a tall tale told by someone with a silver tongue and a penchant for exaggeration. Truly, Baron Munchausen is the greatest lover, the most brilliant military strategist, and the boldest adventurer, if he does say so himself. He woos the Mona Lisa herself, commands bold victories against the Turkish navy, and charts the seven seas in the belly of a whale. But make no mistake, the movie knows just how full of it Munchausen is and wastes no opportunity to take the piss out of him. He’s a cartoon, down to the fact that he leaves a Munchausen-shaped hole in the wall of a castle when he crashes through it, anticipating the Looney Toons. To that end Munchausen is a slapstick masterpiece, creating moments of visual comedy at every turn. The need to rescue Princess Bianca is urgent and serious, but that doesn’t mean Munchausen can’t take a pause to advise on a chess match played by the enemy. As with Munchausen, Zeman loves and cherishes the imagination, but relies on Toník-like craft and skill to execute it. The world needs both science and passion.

THE RULES

SIP

Someone says ‘love’.

The color scheme of the film changes.

Someone names a planet or the Moon.

Somebody threatens the Baron.

Cannonfire.

BIG DRINK

Toník whistles.

Someone speaks ‘Turkish’.
