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.
7.0/在这个以文明揭露真相和过去的时代，没有人能拒绝血缘和根源的归属问题。看似不合理的某些情节不是荒诞的，那颗未腐烂的眼球才是违背自然的设定，结果只是为了政治诉求…
一流的佩内洛普，二流的阿莫多瓦，三流的掉包故事。
近些年少有的恐怖精品，经得起推敲，非常朴素纯粹，虽然一丁点恐怖都没有。另外，几段“黑暗影像”相当出彩，这是奇博导演最拿手的，类似《险恶》的杀人录像。
全篇流露的女性之殇试图与历史的人文思考相联系，却显得突兀与割裂，狗血的剧情轮番轰炸，使得观感也变得怪异起来。冗余的堆叠失去了强有力的表达，对于两个母亲的交集，孩子的养育，微妙的情愫的升华还是牵强附会了些，不过特别喜欢女主的演绎和最后一幕的设计……
依然如旧的女性与亲缘母题，细腻明快。不过很难想像在国内社会版上充满狗血的故事会被发散出浪漫的情节，毕竟Ana再次出现弄了个那样的发型我就意识到事情并不简单了。Penélope呢，就还是如此美丽。
一边是下一代的乌龙延续，一边是对上代的追寻与祭奠。阿莫多瓦对红色的运用炉火纯青。最后一个由骨架变成有血有肉的人体镜头震撼人心，那些躺在坑里的骨架，他们曾经都有血有肉。而如果不被挖掘出来，灵魂不得安宁，战争不会结束。
初看那张惊艳的海报真的以为主题是聚焦于女性朋友权益母职家庭相关的内容，结果是从个人悲痛上升到国家的黑历史的痛苦，虽然都是寻找与错失命运无常的伤痛，直面与新生，看得出想弄大格局，但是两个主题「个人与历史」的结合至少在这个故事里很生硬，搞得两个主题都没表现好，最离奇的是女主知道孩子可能被医院搞混抱错了第一时间竟然不是去找医院，而是默默忍住，这点非常站不住脚啊。
导演是想说：生命的寻根与生命的延续，缺失了任何一部分，国家史与个人史都不完整？可惜两条线硬拗得真拧巴，Janis放弃亲生女儿的动机也牵强，似乎纯粹为了铺垫后面的奇情戏码。倒是“母+母”的母系家庭构造，带点乌托邦式的愿景，显得尤为美好。岂止在生育、养育的过程里，男人百无一用，连性爱都可以请男人离场，女人之间自给自足。毕竟对男性，无论寄托爱情，或是寄托生活、寄托灵魂，他们都并非理想对象，仅停留在社会性的合作层面就够了啊。
我要继承家族的传统，一个人带孩子，单身母女，像我的妈妈，我的婆婆。我不需要你承担承认，你有权知道发生了什么。前面的历史，最后的历史，想要讲的太多，女性的主题也不够。婴儿猝死综合征，就这样死了，1小时前还好好的，大脑忘记了要呼吸。
伊森霍克出场不到10分钟吧 糅杂多种类型的惊悚在最后出来的成片可以说是相当难看的可怕 虽然一众小朋友都表演的特别用力 …
置景还是那么美得浓烈，摄影好喜欢,每个人的眼睛都水汪汪。

虽然故事有些平淡，但阿莫多瓦的镜头依然充满人文关怀，就像在温柔安抚着母亲们的肩。无论国家的新生还是个体的分娩，都需要拒绝谎言。
三星全给女演员们
阿莫多瓦向來擅長寫家庭肥皂劇和女性內心戲，本片也不可避免延續了這一模式，但帶有阿莫多瓦創作上的野心，把格局和道德的勇氣試圖連接到大時代的政治批判。阿莫多瓦說故事的能力和指導演員的表現自然無太大問題，但把家庭的血脈相連的真相，和西班牙獨裁歷史下的亡魂相認，確實有些過於簡單，反而矮化了揭示過去悲劇的震撼性。
不是也不可能是生涯最佳，但触及政治和历史还是第一次，“历史拒绝沉默”。喜欢这样的电影。
OMG，故事的发展走向太过清奇以至于久久不能回过神来。
戏剧性不够强，又要讲历史又要讲友谊/爱情/母爱。居然就这样让她把孩子拿走了。
我只一味地向前走
年度十佳！三位母亲、三个女儿、三次反讽复归，一段历史追寻、一次记忆挖掘，一场回望之爱......从迪奥提玛孕育的爱之教诲，到深重往事的再次回溯，皆是对不朽的渴望和对死亡的超越，这就是阿莫多瓦的《会饮》，多年如一日的奇情作者特性的达成。
