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.
2.8 選角挺失敗的，最失敗的選角就是男主和心理醫生。布蘭切特的強大氣場已經成了一種能夠跳出故事的存在（這種每次一出場老娘碾壓死你的高位氣壓真的慎用）而庫柏太弱，老實人的臉演個魅力賊子總顯得有點蹩腳，老版的那種勢均力敵，棋逢敵手的氛圍全無，少了一層感受刺激。此外，全片的黑暗哪哪透出一股甜暖，填充一些視覺符號也是徒然，鏡頭太愛動了!差評嗚嗚
不知道是库珀太没魅力还是电影本身太没魅力，总之看不进去。《不要抬头》里觉得凯特布兰奇的奇怪样子是刻意的化妆，这里看好像脸真的有点不自然了，反正她也越来越徒有气场了，大概被大魔王这SB称号把演技都吸走了吧。
真是boring的故事boring的人物，就这种俗烂剧本需要请一堆大牌明星？翻拍也不是这么搞得吧
毫无新意的剧本+装神弄鬼的道具+及格线上挣扎的主演+150分钟的时长=看了三个晚上才勉强看完后一脑门子的问号
从主角躺在鸡笼中间就能预料到的书档式架构还是那样有震慑力，so ironic,so destined。
前面的铺垫确实太过冗长 导致结尾没办法撑得起来
我还是愿意花一个半小时去看一个人搬起石头砸自己的脚，而不是两个半……有一种把I'm 硬拉长成my name is的感觉
是长了点（前半段注意力很分散我...）但后半段渐入佳境 陀螺的视听风格演绎心理周旋很抓人 （感到Mara似乎被定型在某种character里...
劇情很一般，Bradley Cooper蠻有魅力的，兩位女主跟之前的角色太相似了，Cate Blanchett還是演大魔王，Rooney Mara還是演小白兔，沒有什麼驚喜突出之處。。。
前情有必要交代，但确实不必拖得太长。陀螺可能是想找个机会展示自己的freak show美学——马戏团的帐篷和诡异陈设令人联想到魏玛时期表现主义经典之作《卡里加里博士的小屋》。当陀螺沉迷于此时，批判与猎奇的分野则趋于暧昧模糊。
华丽的空壳 属于眼睛得到了全方位享受 看完没留下任何余味的那类
看到中途还以为它后面能带来些观众想不到的事情。只可惜只是逐渐无聊而已。Cooper有点接不住zeena和魔王的戏。
置景看上去真有钱啊，女演员们都还可以，单Cooper不太行。陀螺确实有为怀旧而怀旧的嫌疑，还是搞点原创剧本吧。
7分吧，服化道摄都很美，后半部分很好看，喜欢结尾。
B-. 年度失望，即便它已经在美学上实现了真正“五彩斑斓的黑”。根源在于剧作彻底的滑铁卢。第一幕的冗长散漫对叙事节奏的打击是毁灭性的，后续即使不断加速，也再也没能做到引人入胜。作为悬疑类型，转折过于平淡而失去惊喜，甚至不及我作为观众脑补的预期；作为角色研究，对人物的塑造又缺乏complexity。三位女性角色各成脸谱，卡司之间也没能有足够的化学反应。成片就像它描绘的马戏团，是一具艳丽的空壳。2022.2.5 Gaumont Parnasse
没看完旧版…太长了吧，转折太慢了吧，装服真的很不错，也有很多伏笔和暗示，演技感觉也没完全发挥…
陀螺电影的怪趣味深宅癖美术风格在本片中一如既往的延续，这是观影所能带来的最大快感，采访说影片中很多道具都是陀螺的私人收藏品，这果然很陀螺。可惜的是，最重要的故事剧情太过常规太无新意，演员表演除了大魔王外，也无甚惊喜，鲁妮玛拉的角色过于扁平导致演员基本无发挥空间......当然，看完还是会想起一些存在于中国民间的“通灵人”，在中国很多农村里通俗的说法叫做“跳大神的”，如果有朝一日审查制度放开点，这会是一个特别好的电影题材。
故事背景,还有细节都很有意思. 一点点魔幻的感觉. 只是故事讲的稍微匆忙了点. 再铺垫的扎实点,估计会很不错.
这种暗黑风格很容易让人迷幻，前半截稍微有些拖沓，但故事完成度很高，想来也是如此，人到了此处，自然就会迷失，塔罗预言一般。
