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.
在这样一个老人眼中
堆砌概念和绝对柯南伯格的元素，通篇给人一种故弄玄虚的不适感，一种又高潮又没有高潮的感觉。
柯南伯格的人体切割恶趣味，和传统的柯氏音乐，可故事力度已不如以往。有些导演可以称之为老而弥坚，但显然柯南伯格可算不上，只有自己的恶趣味。当然，点滴处，柯南伯格的审美，服饰设计还是在线的。
75Cannes第八部/节奏是对的，是我不对，会再看的，但感到过誉了/眼前浮起家崽坐在沙发上的关于性和暴力的言论，我就走神了
视觉风格依然是典型的柯南伯格，尤其很多场景、道具直接呼应《感官游戏》，body horror再次展现令人欲罢不能的怪诞美学，相比表象，主题更为激进大胆，柯南伯格都马上要八十的人了，仍然对现实世界，对社会制度，对艺术探索保持清醒的警戒，依旧是当代电影的首席开拓者。痛感带来快感，痛感催生改变，痛感推动人类进化，痛感造就全新世界。
完全解构的世界观，完全不同的体系，完全不同的标准，这样的剧情，需要我们大脑去解码。当痛变成了享受，当器官成了艺术品，当切割身体成了性爱，一切有了不同的意义。维果莫腾森的演技牛逼。
人类的创造需要由人类的进化所构成平衡的新世界。不过话说回来，小男孩解剖戏份里大家的反应和身体内部让我很困惑，以及lifeware谋杀塑料人的动机也让我很困惑。如果就以艺术映射来解释肉体与灵魂的权利交换也不是不可以，但我们这些药理人第一反应就是，你们所说的干细胞培植与痛觉清理但又不完全清理，我觉得不是一个可以一劳永逸的小手术… 这种极度物质贫乏的世界里，大家一起做新世界的塑料人，是不是也是一种浪漫呢。
《钛》的威力加强版，重拾当年看《感官游戏》的恐惧和恶心感。柯南伯格的的确确有一套。
visually irresistible 关于艺术家创作的思考很好，关于技术主义的探讨仅是蜻蜓点水
知觉丧失，身体成为可以被任意蹂躏的异化物。打开的身体才值得被观看，器官的独异代替了内在精神。塑料人也是可致死的，解剖尸体却可以比切开活人更加惊世骇俗。于是，身体作为一种包装囚禁了我们，只有在其最无所谓效用的状况下才能获得自由。
每一个情节都能看懂，但怎么合在一起到最后就看不懂了呢？未来的人类进化哪怕是糟糕的也是正确的，不可阻挡的？你以为的制作塑料人和有毒巧克力的人是错误的人，结果实际上警察和抵抗变异人的才是反派？另外男主到底是享受这样的表演和疼痛还是不享受啊我也没搞懂他到底是啥，
柯南伯格对身体器官的研究与追求真respect
疼痛与欢愉的两面，行为艺术之“掏心掏肺给你看”，看完感觉脑子被解剖了一遍…
没有去查编剧，盲猜也是非英语国家的吧，通篇短句搭配上众多小语种国家的演员使所有对话都简洁凌厉，和镜头中大量的黑一样有吞噬力。
Inner beauty is no longer 内在美 but 内脏美。LifeFormWare的员工录影surgery的部分很lost highway。最惊艳的桥段是第一场手术。
我倒觉得是柯南堡作品集非常容易接受的一部了，表达也相对清晰。像是银翼杀手和Videodrome 杂糅在一起的反乌托邦作品，维果的造型都很像老银翼里的银发Roy。感叹一句蕾老师的肉体可真是天赐的鬼斧神工，以及斯图尔特就真只演了个小角色，期待中的对手戏也并不多，大概也是柯南堡迷妹吧…… 还算好看，但不如Crash
看预告时候最先被片子的美学风格吸引，其次才是璀璨的演员阵容。最先把我搞不适的是片子的美学风格，其次才是演员表演，其实主要是小k，她已经连续接了两个角色，都演成了神经质，话都不能正常说。
概念前卫，行为艺术的背景下对进化、人体和欲望的探索，但确实大可不必。还在期待些什么而电影就像突然熄火一样。
比起《钛》在视觉上更丰富，但整部电影从内容到结构都近似于一个当代艺术馆——我觉得极媚虚无又高傲的东西。柯南伯格是一个对待概念极其粗暴但对待影像又如匠人般精细的导演。
挺福柯/德勒兹的，高级sm就是绞刑架下的高潮
