Daisy

About This Movie

Daisy is a fascinating piece, more of a meditative exploration than a traditional narrative film. Shot in black and white, it captures the tranquility of Maine's landscape—flowers, fields, and a pond—all through Burckhardt's unique lens. There's this palpable sense of stillness, a reminder of how the mundane can hold depth when you really look. The pacing allows you to dwell on each shot, letting the simplicity of the subjects resonate. It’s intriguing how Burckhardt elevates these slight themes into something weighty, suggesting that there’s beauty and consequence in quiet observation. It's a film that sits with you, lingering long after the credits roll.

Daisy is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by more prominent works from the era. It was released in limited formats, which has contributed to its scarcity. The film’s distinctive style and themes resonate with those who appreciate experimental cinema, making it a unique find for collectors seeking deeper or lesser-known titles from the 1960s.
