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.
影片讲述上世纪六十年代末七十年代初的北爱尔兰，小男孩一家因为新教和天主教之间极端激进的宗教冲突被迫从贝尔法斯特搬去英格兰。
英国电影《贝尔法斯特》。《天堂影院》后，童年记忆模式爆红，引来仿作无数，此片则是最新的一部。肯尼思·布拉纳是个不错的演员，作为导演却总差一口气。此片只是基于个人（？）的零碎童年记忆，将其置于宏大的时代背景中，想通过儿童的眼光，反映当时贝城新教与天主教之间的激烈冲突。可惜故事性太差，且不流畅，让人很难进入影片所设置的情境之中。导演只能玩点黑白影像、大特写镜头等，只是给演员增加些表演的空间，于剧情毫无裨益。不断加入当时的怀旧歌曲，只是让电影变成了MV。
小孩的电影中规中矩，
笑、泪、爱、离别都揉进了琐事里，这是布拉纳童年的创伤、是他写给故乡和亲人的情书，也是他在这个分裂混乱冷漠的世界里，送给观众的礼物。#爷爷和奶奶演得未免也太好了。#口音真的有点难懂，打算做个中文字幕
借我朋友的评价：“就这还跟罗马比呢？连马都不如”。
3.5 私人流水账，从开篇俯拍城市就有种怪异的质感。虽然是以孩子的视角出发，落点散乱可以理解，但是从私人纪事来说，人物设定又太过刻板。后半段有几个比较可爱的笑点。
流水账到不明所以，再多放几首流行歌配乐就要成功把我逼疯了。
致那些留下的人与离开的人。
不太明白做成黑白的意义，或许就只是为了碰瓷《罗马》而已；人物矛盾和动机有些莫名其妙，冲突与转折到来时那种力量每次都不是很足，太缺少说服力。
很喜欢 虽然很多人拿来与罗马比较，但私人认为比罗马更有共鸣更易代入。尤其中国也有那么多离开家乡的人。里面的妙笔太多了 帮外孙出主意作弊的爷爷 画丝袜的奶奶 抢加酶洗衣粉的孩子，为了和心爱女孩坐一排而拼命读书的小男主，拉帮结派的小太妹……家乡的符号不就是由这些元素和妙笔组成的吗？
每个导演心中都有一个《罗马》，但肯尼思·布拉纳并不是阿方索·卡隆。

每个导演心中都有一个《罗马》，但肯尼思·布拉纳并不是阿方索·卡隆。
从开场城市宣传片一样的PPT开始就可以感受到导演的平庸，黑白画面的使用似乎是在掩盖棚景的胶感，时而使用儿童视角时而脱离，非常杂乱琐碎，想到哪拍到哪。用了北爱的历史冲突和家庭的经济状况做为背景，但就只拍了表面的冲突与状况，完全没有其他更深或者更多的交代，所有的沉重都被淋上了糖水，苦难与歌唱是割裂的，让人无所适从导演的表达，治愈吗？这真是导演的私人记忆与感情，旁人很难共鸣。Judi Dench贡献了全片最感人的表演，她的眼神为本片增加了许多层次。我个人不太喜欢小演员的表演。
开头两分钟像旅游宣传片。"The Irish were born leaving, otherwise, the rest of the world would have no pubs." Good Friday Agreement保了爱尔兰二十年的和平 -- 虽然直到2000年贝尔法斯特街头仍有军队护送儿童上下学，十几年前两次在那里看到的遗迹和壁画记忆犹新。脱欧等于撕毁这一切，爱尔兰岛的统一似乎不再是个梦。
一个童年
除了莱德的发型太丑了 其他细节都不错 娃喜欢
《罗马》蹩脚的模仿品，想成为阿方索却摸不到精髓，可悲又可怜，观感也是食之无趣，嚼之无味。
街道的制景感太强了。整部影片好似孩童的回忆散漫无重点。整部影片属于有佳章但非佳作。
非「寫實」的置景，舞台化的概念。將童年往事濃縮進一條街道的微縮景觀模型，以對應小孩的視點。爺爺奶奶那條線寫得動人。〈正午〉的互文，離開的與留下的，構成我們的鄉愁。
