Chytilová is best known for her once highly controversial film "Sedmikrásky" ("Daisies") – (1966). "Daisies" is known for its un-sympathetic characters, lack of a continuous narrative and abrupt visual style. Chytilová states that she structured "Daisies" to “restrict 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 due to its depictions and imagery of wasting food, but in 1966 the film won the Grand Prix at the Bergamo Film Festival in Italy. "Daisies" cemented Chytilová's career both nationally and internationally.
