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.
作为陀螺粉，对片子多少是失望的，但鲁妮还是太可爱了。
新版撇开卡司、置景美术，剧本改的太失败了，把原版优秀的地方改的很粗暴，可惜了
快进看完的。男主一开始就有原罪啊，活活冻死了自己的父亲，然后放火烧了房子。请问动机是什么？就是为了说明这个男子天生是坏蛋吗？但他在马戏团的表现有好像温文尔雅，不像是个能杀父亲的人啊！！！还谈了一段浪漫的恋爱。然后画风突转，马上变坏了。原来重头戏在后面。但前面已经放了一个小时了！！铺垫太长！后面事情败露后，女律师栽赃的戏份，太过于明显了。那样直接在办公室暴露自己，只怕是会死得更快！男子前面聪明的不行，后面居然如此糊涂。。

是被创伤和欲念引入深渊的个体悲剧，也是被空洞和虚妄拽向阴谋的世事轮回，夜车和暗巷的旅程中，所有梦幻终变泡影，所有失落终成麻醉。德托罗把诡谲的个人趣味和老式的黑色风格进行嫁接，时长上得到强化的前半段马戏团段落，无论是氛围营造还是内容构建，都能看出陀螺在这部分是特别用心用力的，但是故事到了城市，黑色电影主线正式启动后，前段酝酿起的期待逐渐失落在并无新意的情节推进以及看似迷离实则凝滞的视听表达中，而且演员与角色之间、角色与角色之间联结度和张力的缺失，更使得高潮部分的动力不足。虽然前后段落差明显，但观感其实还行，茉莉的设定挺与时俱进，美术和影像也是高水准，整体与[水形物语]处于同一水准。
7/10。前半段的马戏团与后半段的通灵术单看其实挺精彩，怪奇物具与幽暗人心都是陀螺的拿手好戏，可合到一起就偏偏变成了四平八稳的警世恒言，差强人意。
道德寓言故事感太强，各种意义上的陈词滥调。
有点无聊 说起来我最近才知道Rooney mara和纸牌屋的Kate mara是亲姐妹
就是太冗长了。故事的话确实是那种上世界老经典电影的那种感觉。但是真的可以拍的在简短一点，而且更加富有传奇性一点。
已经被大魔王的红唇迷死了！（电影画面赏心悦目，故事剧情一般也能沉浸看完）
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.
收尾相当棒，陀螺拍这种暗黑风格真的拿捏超好。
当酒精作为致命的药引勾连起geek和年迈的读心术表演者，你就知道库珀一定会继承他的命运并最终踏进混杂着鸡屎和猎奇目光的牢笼。绕是如此，看着他笑着喝下那杯配方自己也心知肚明的酒，依然感到被一种强烈的宿命的力量击中。
4.5，没看过原作，2.30小时不觉得长，意犹未尽。
3.5。toro對嘉年華內志怪美學的狂熱明顯壓過了他對黑色電影的迷影情節，這也導致影片在主角走出嘉年華後立刻變得冗長無聊。
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。
然而反观其内容本身，又一定程度上为其概念化、系统化的主题结构所束缚，其体量本身不足以承载如此繁杂的人物象征，亦难以在兼顾其系统的同时维持戏剧现实的节奏，故而在一些段落（由以高潮戏为甚）的处理上略显琐碎，繁杂，反而缺失了力量。
预算如此如此充足，所有重要配角全是知名的性格演员演的…
结尾收的不错，别的感觉除了演员演技，没什么看点。整体叙事节奏拖沓，人物也没立起来，逻辑上不太能自洽，也是有些遗憾。魔鬼也好人也罢，生活嘛总是人与人之间的互相愚弄，得失如何只有自己清楚了。重要的还是保持初心吧，不然下场也不应该好的。
