A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.

音乐和镜头都很有吸引力，用影像的语言呈现了值得回味的寓言故事。但另一方面奇幻场景比较保守，没有什么爽点。
基本上就是对史诗的复述，能够感觉出来导演想要对传统文学进行解构，但却选错了方法，你以为你在看传统叙事，不，他是意识流，你以为是意识流，不，他其实建立在传统叙事上。最终导演想要表达的东西和原著差了十万八千里，还颇为得意，因为摄影是真他娘的牛逼，可不看原著你根本不知道他讲了个啥，问题恰恰就出在这儿， 这玩意儿所表达的东西完全出离了原著，这就更他娘的看不懂了。古今中外都在重构经典文学，但这种题材其实最难处理，要么在原基础上升华，要么就用当代视角去重新审视然后玩儿出花来，要么就不知所云。通常第一种中规中矩但都还挺不错，比如《麦克白》《特洛伊》。第二种容易翻车，但也容易出现经典，比如《大话西游》《闪灵》。遗憾的是，本片是第三种
虽然剧情看得不太懂，但那种诡秘阴冷童话般的氛围我还挺喜欢的
善举
不知道为什么评分不高，其实蛮好看的，小朋友也喜欢
观影过程一直处于无语中，替导演尴尬，上一部本来很好，为何高开低走。一个中世纪诗行故事，原本来已经写的相当复杂晦涩，改编相信导演是看中里面可展现视觉语言的宽度，这里擅自揣测下导演想法，可能要为日后拍大片使把劲儿，但劲儿使崩了，从头到尾导演也没拿捏准过到底要呈现的一条统一的核心是什么，可以复杂但起码要统一。这直接导致故事和精神驴头不对马尾，视听呈现上也极其分裂，一会儿美剧廉价感十足，一会儿故弄玄虚往欧洲古典主义楞靠。此部把导演缺点暴露一览无余，影片整体显得极其不真诚。糟糕之作。

P.s.女主追求自己想要的，放弃职位，成就别人梦想的样子好酷
美术和光影棒极啦，但除此之外也没啥夸得出口的……
诱惑、恐惧、贪恋这些东西布满影片各个角落，加上影片在摄影、打光以及构图和一些奇幻元素使得整部片子有着一种迷人的气质
很清新，很感人。
英格兰版的黄粱一梦 无法获得勇气 无法成为骑士 是因为付出求回报 见色而忘义 贪生而怕死 既然怕死 就让你见识一下你的美好未来 成为国王 抛弃爱人 迎娶贵族 儿子战死 最后自己也人头落地 见过种种虚妄 终于六根清净 迎接命运 怎么说呢 电影和原版故事已然不同了 居然通向了佛禅文化 拍的也很美 戴着斧子去旅行 倒是让我想起了林克
科学家让雪狼在“人类监管下”“自由”；
太晦涩，十字军又是我因为不喜欢而造成的知识盲区，所以看不懂，欣赏不了
魔改却与骑士精神内核高度重合，同时对荣耀背后的东西释放了值得玩味的猜疑。影像表达很有诗意，观众完全可以自行理解和重组这个故事，特别是章回体电影的设定，完全打乱了叙事时间。当记叙顺序不同时，故事会呈现完全相反的结局。同时我也很喜欢这个电影的表达，充满了中世纪的神学象征与隐藏在敬畏之心下的幻觉。正是这种真假难辨的叙事，让人只能去意会这个男孩的成长，他的奥德赛，与他很可能完全是被捏造的属于他的传说。
【3.0】看预告片以为是部很邪气的个性化类型片，但其实仅仅只是非常工整的、精致的童话而已，可以对标的是珀金斯那部口碑扑街但视听同样精致的《格蕾特和韩塞尔》。大卫·洛维这片的根本价值在于它捍卫了童话的古典叙事，这是一部为了追求纯正味道而必须牺牲创作者艺术个性的作品，因而之于影片的理想受众，即那些对童话有信念感的观众，影片无疑是可以被认为趋于完美的。我不喜欢这类童话/神话传说，所以也无法感冒影片，但我佩服大卫·洛维在做这件事情上的坚持。
很迷人的电影。本片可以证明，多元化的演员选用丝毫不会影响到一部本该优秀的电影。
看不懂的欧洲文艺；更看不惯的欧洲文艺；这是一部拍给西方人看的影片。
