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.
碰到电影里吐槽London的地方观众都好兴奋hhhh
继《宝宝司机》后，赖特对自身风格A级化的进一步尝试，大抵就是一个玩家将爱好变成饭碗后，开始一本正经整活的正常体现。女性议题的营造粗暴却完整，至于那些蒙太奇上的看家功夫，只能说作为好他这口的还会一直吃，但少了先前的鬼马轻盈，多少还是有些遗憾的。
前半段大赞，精致的表现主义，具象女性视角的心理恐惧，色彩氤氲镜像折射，把不同时代的两个女性形象的交互玩转表达到出神入化，出色的服化道流光溢彩，贴合的复古配乐神来之笔，后半段急转直下，心理具象变超自然灵异事件，女主心智骤降，反派立场摇摆不定，文本出现空洞，男性群像群魔乱舞，表现对极端男权的尖刺和反向掌控，早先的视听色彩沦为空洞的形式主义，一切的铺垫和发展动机，到最后显得毫无意义，观众对整个故事的真实感受和理解，也因为这些通篇塞满形式和概念的奇观以及三流收尾，受限困惑因此一头雾水，摸不着头脑的大团圆结局以及敷衍的服装设计秀场画下句点，多少有点崩盘和智障。★★
没想到安雅竟然不是女一号 之前宣传都几乎只有她🥲该有的惊悚元素都有了 服装 配乐都很60s 果然是不管什么年代女性都共情女性
安雅·泰勒-乔伊长得就有恐怖片气质；埃德加·赖特看来已经沉迷“播放列表流”了
除了流动的音乐和最后的丧尸，看不太出是赖特的作品。但是影像风格真的太好看了。Dinna Riggs的谢幕。
结尾太拧巴了险些把女性主题搞垮，最后算是勉强捞回来了吧。本来又惊悚又沉重的，结果Help一出来笑到扑街，那群鬼魂真的太搞笑了我的天简直影史留名的一幕啊！🤦♀️ 视听效果还是非常好的。
披着恐怖惊悚外衣的厌男片。两种不同风格的美，McKenzie清秀可人，Taylor-Joy的大眼依然很是瘆人
结尾的处理得扣分了，太潦草。其实相比性别议题，我看到的更多是导演埃德加赖特本人对这部影片的个人投射，很容易就想到几年前他被迫放弃执导《蚁人》，尽管他为那部电影的剧本投入大量的精力。本片里的Sandie同样在追逐梦想的道路上面临放弃自我，讨好恶魔的境地，像噩梦一样环绕在两个女主身边。我相信赖特依然对当初《蚁人》未能成行而耿耿于怀，这些年的魂牵梦绕，为《Soho区惊魂夜》提供了不少情感支撑。
画面和构图兼具美感和冲击感，多处巧妙的运镜和适配的歌舞音乐都是极致的视听享受，同时复刻上世纪六十年代星光璀璨，弥漫耀眼的时尚歌舞圈，故事核心却是一个极具悲剧性的主题，充满巨星的梦想但只能在无尽的现实牢狱中一遍遍重复阶层的欲望侵害，这个社会不是靠自己却是靠关系。可惜这个故事还是不够精彩，后期的反转不算震惊，警察角色的单薄和不够自洽的人物行为逻辑，不过依旧展示了一个很有野心的电影风格，埃德加赖特始终是我很欣赏和喜欢的导演，两位女主也是全片的亮点之一，安雅饰演这种风情美艳具有人性特色的角色真是再合适不过了
可惜编剧显然不知道怎么使用这些点子，最后的“反转”更是极为突兀和逻辑上说不通。
不会真有人觉得嫖客死了就会变得很可怕吧？不会真有人觉得妓女反杀就是大反转吧？导演对性别运动的嘲讽振聋发聩啊，何必结尾再一番讨好呢？到底有没有ball啊兄弟？
才发现这导演的每部片都看过，真是个人风格越来越强化，不像同样有MTV质感名气更响的盖里奇那样踏步
-，真的是不太能指望男导演能拍好女性困局，女人最大的噩梦和女性互助就是这样么？如果说麦肯齐最后被“打脸”还算写得有新意的话，安泰乔这个角色也过于陈旧了。母女线也是完全没写好，就开头结尾硬呼应。
The script is a dud (again), characters are underwritten, some gestures don’t seem to have any purpose, there is conflict between what shows and what means. Camera work is the only bright spot, but you can also argue that he sacrificed the content for the form.
这个故事实在不该拍电影，应该拍迷你剧。电影的篇幅对于这个故事来说太短了些，从片子的前两幕来看，团队为主角设计了很多细腻的暗线，迫于电影篇幅，这些线并没有很好的展开，尤其是主角母亲这条线，有一段时间如同被遗忘了一样，直到最后才突然捡起来
即使是最后被sandie追杀到绝境，Eloise依然拒绝了老男人们的建议，拒绝报警，这是一个girls help girls的故事。剧情上也不错，最大的悬疑在于Eloise目睹的60年代惨剧是幻想还是确有其事，老男人们的阴影与现实交织在一起，共同编织了一场噩梦。虽然酒吧老头并非Jack的很明显，但是sandie隐藏的颇深，我还一度以为sandie是Eloise的奶奶
作为MV和歌舞片爱好者的我对于这种MV电影当然不会讨厌，但埃德加赖特和NWR之间还是有档次的差距，NWR是影像为王，赖特还是放不下他爱的音乐。
原声必收，60年代英伦复古大串联。另外，镜像的点子实现的不错。
桑迪佝偻蹒跚着挥舞凶器时，火焰折射出盛装美好的自己从容登台自由歌唱的荣光，这一幕真的太美太悲情了。
