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.
这啥啊，一开始还以为又拍一遍出租车司机，结果差的远了，bgm还可以
看完才明白为什么被各美国杂志评选成年度优秀电影之一，典型的“USA”式电影，外人感受不会那么深，再加上剧情冲突较弱，观众情绪无法带入，也就当作了解了一件事吧，今年奥斯卡能有这片一席之地。
背景故事線挺好的 夾雜了愛情線後 讓人一頭霧水
6.2，小片子，讲美军虐囚事件，男主和《婚姻生活》男主是同一个人！！！
本片是保罗·施拉德对布列松式超验风格的临摹。背负虐囚、军事监狱罪孽的ptsd主角企图通过沉湎赌场洗刷灵魂深处的恐惧，鱼眼镜头下血腥凶残的虐囚闪回直指关塔那摩监狱种种泯灭人性的罪行，身穿星条旗的赌徒连胜是一种对美国国家权威的隐喻。然而施拉德终究否定了赎罪、解脱的可能性，人终将被创伤和罪孽吞噬。
emm…完全没看懂，恕我不懂欣赏…节奏巨慢…剧情前后不搭，和赌博没有半毛钱关系，人物描述不清晰，分数全是给男主的，样貌一分，床戏一分.
'You win, you walk away. You lose, you walk away.' 片尾的转折多加1分，本来以为会是个温情故事。
有点牵强，但我又还挺喜欢这个故事，一些设定和场景蛮有意思，这么新的画面质量把啥都拍清晰了也不一定是好事，怪怪的观感。奥斯卡真他娘帅。
选了打德州扑克的作为切入点着实让人迷茫。关塔那摩ptsd，主线隐藏蛮深，最后复仇的结局让人懵逼。不过看完好一会儿，才感到，后劲很大。
勉强算更现代风格的布列松 但文本主题和影像始终不搭
淡淡的忧伤，说不上来的感觉；记忆深刻的一个人在被白被单裹好的桌子上一边记录，一遍喝酒的场面；可能内心中有这样的渴望。
有當年看落日車神的觸動感，真男人的感覺。這部電影的影像語言讓我感覺他就是一部電影，影像克制但必要時直入心靈，編導演皆好，原本台灣的宣傳弄得像一部B級娛樂片似的，好險剛好趕上全台灣最後一場放映，幸福。
鱼眼广角镜头的部分是亮点，调度很吸引人，整体依然是PTSD与救赎的故事
主角和男孩相互救赎的主线引出战争对人的迫害。立意很好，拍得不咋地，四不像。
关于救赎的故事，赌场只是背景，预告片和正片是两部电影。
这故事讲得确实法兰西，但距离法兰西精英还差几个身位
类型结合的并不成功，反而浪费了太多的精力在不精彩的牌桌上。多数情节靠人物对话来推进，不是一个好的电影范本。能进威尼斯也许是因为他题材的特殊性吧…看不进去
个人层面对施虐行为的救赎，国家层面对关塔那摩的反思，还赌上了一个年轻人的前途（输了）。女主的戏份有点莫名其妙。有点真诚的悔罪书，艺术性不太够的电影。
主题和算牌的关联性有些不明所以。顶尖的算牌人理当由细节及微表情洞悉他人内心，可终究没看清一个嫩头青的决绝。自我的救赎终究不能心平气的和完成，身受才能成全感同，罪与罚才得以消解。整体来说故事节奏较慢，圣母式的设定没有可信任的基础，爱情来的突然，以爱结尾更有些莫名其妙，并不算很吸引我的片子。
