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.
故作深沉，什么事情都没有讲好，ptsd，赌博，感情，犯罪，全都没有说清楚。
蛮平平无奇的，赌博、复仇、救赎哪条线都没讲好，不是结局监狱和足足五分钟的食指相碰的话可能只想打两个星（🤤谁的爹
让我有点想起《第一归正会》。是我喜欢的风格。
#2021威尼斯主竞赛# 完全隐匿了赌博的激情，取而代之的是清教徒苦行保守式的自我救赎。试图拯救迷途的羔羊，勇于直面过去的创伤，放逐自我幸福再次囿于被撕裂的伤口里。Mr.USA的胜利，又何尝不是美利坚的幻灭呢。
ᐈ我不喜欢名流赌局，我喜欢低调赌博
45/100。起码这次能够提炼出一个清晰的主题了，那种在承受巨大痛苦之后无法扭转的后果不至于无法被捕捉到。然而跟《第一归正会》的问题还是一模一样，保罗·施拉德始终把自己凌驾在观众的承受范围之上，想呈现的效果从来不考虑是否能够产生效果，所以我们依然看到的依然是一团浆糊似的东西，漫长无趣的牌桌现场和毫无明确的人物刻画在呆板的镜头下让人无法忍受，在吃到糖果前被灌了一嘴苦瓜的感觉真的很不好。以及全片依然过于依赖演员，从伊桑·霍克到奥斯卡·伊萨克，导演你真的能独立行走吗？Ps.奥斯卡的角色显然比伊桑的更具魅力，有颜有肉让这个可以打入深渊的故事不至于即刻死绝。
一开始觉得声音和监狱走廊的拉伸感蛮好的（质地接近升级版的广角麦芽糖？），但后来感觉这些乍看新奇的东西被很多倒胃口的设计拖下水了（比如说那种近似中国城市夜景的灯光秀）…… 在保罗施拉德的作品里比较次等。
影片还可以叫“追风筝的人、台球人、打飞机人、种田人、修地铁人、卖电脑人、直播达人……”，反正跟风筝、台球、飞机……又没有关系，随便咋叫都行。
保羅許瑞德。Oscar Isaac。好看。
施拉德的影像不敢苟同，可本子却很有意思，口吻像是你在德州遇见一个话很多却不着重点，话梢茂密可远端总是被盖住，所有段落的最后都是youknow，装腔作势看穿美国内在极权却只想从中混口饭吃，每一天重复的生活或许才是自由。最后赌局和杀人用力有点大了，也有点解释过多，也挺自恋的哈哈
偶尔的镜头非常漂亮，长时间的情节让我无法看进去。如同第一归正会大家都说好我却完全感受不到。
高开低走，因为配乐和奥斯卡的脸值得一看。三星给鱼眼镜头的噩梦部分，男主角阴影下的脸太迷人了，配乐也可以。爱情线尬到我脚趾抠出巨型陨石坑。而且也没看出算牌和主线有什么联系，其实不算牌，是个谨慎的小偷或者抢劫犯故事都不会受到影响啊！我不理解。
Oscar Isaac很迷人，但劇本有點過時
后面看进去了感觉还不错
摄影有布列松那味，但是一看到男主屁股那么大就又……不是那味。长镜头监狱那段，真的挺帅。
赌场构造了一个对于性和金钱极度压抑的红黑空间，而沙发，西装的物象，还有反常的视角和怪异的叫声，让这个片有了《双峰》的味道，故一切念头和动作就有了双峰式的合理，亦可称之不合理。最后长达五分钟，两指隔窗而交的，是红、黑和受到极刑至血肉模糊又再度恢复新生肉体，以罪为界，以爱相连。
Boys help boys(不是。/《算牌人》不讲算牌，不讲赌博，甚至也不打算讲复仇。/回想起来看过的和听说过的保罗施拉德电影，导演确实拍的一直是同一个故事。/鱼眼回溯过往的方法为什么在每个评论都夸一遍，虽然很好但是——很稀奇？没懂为啥都在夸。/奥斯卡伊萨克帅到令人喷血。我承认我看他看得目不转睛。昨天刚夸了一遍哈维尔巴登。（这真是属于南美长相的一周。）/导演有一种自己的“反高潮”。尤其一个半小时结合拉进度条看内容的时候会有感觉。/结尾致敬《扒手》明确。/多嘴说一句，帅哥男主搭的不是幼龄傻白甜也不是符号化的尤物，同龄、风韵犹存但也像是有故事的样子。希望这种平权细节能多有。
欲观牌桌风云变，半途杀出复仇男。
明知一副好牌却不屑一顾，不为赌，只为爱好，规则明确适时抽离。影片有一种孤勇的气质又不乏男性魅力，形式感强化，酷。
三星半，Oscar Issac这张冷峻的脸就是全片节奏和风格的写照。算牌只是虚晃一枪，重心是PTSD主题和相辅相成的鱼眼镜头。BRMC的音乐还是很有辨识度的。
