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.
保罗施拉德放弃了能令人兴奋的一切。牌局高潮，血肉搏杀，哪怕短暂的性爱都是浮云般而过。他所专注在的，永远是过往人们难以遗忘的罪孽与伤痕。于是人们喃喃自语，封锁内心，幻想通过救赎他人来得到宽恕。他剧本中的人物永远将破碎的心藏在一个光鲜的残存外表之下，绝望地在这末世之中建立自己的救赎。
太喜欢这个风格了，视听真的很棒，每次这个配乐一起来，丧的情绪就已经到位了，自我救赎与复仇执念，看似走向光明的未来，却没能算到少年意气，最后宿命般的完成使命，坦然迎接结局，只是在最后却又留有了一点光明和希望，爱就是生活的意义。
极度克制的影片。可能就是因为克制到了极点，反而显得有点拘束。亮点在对监狱鱼眼镜头的展示，配上美式摇滚，真的让人在不寒而栗的同时又充满着新鲜刺激。爱情的片段更多的种“润滑剂”，给这部充满了克制、压抑的影片一点温度，不过可能也正因为此，影片的力度才显得不够，看完有种意犹未尽之感。
7.5分，一部看似绝望却充满希望的电影，气质是另一个维度的《出租车司机》，奥斯卡伊萨克太有魅力了我的天！
6.7。这2种题材融合在一起还真是不好拍，画面和摄影手法都挺不错，音乐也可以，好好拍赌片不挺好的嘛，剧情拉垮了
就冲着 Oscar Issac 可以用眼睛飙演技，没白看
部分桥段的镜头处理跟《第一归正会》一毛一样，当然这部更无聊也更陈旧
从《light sleeper》到《美国舞男》到《第一归正》，都是延续布列松《扒手》的范式，在视觉上的静态照片，固定机位➕各种中景和人物特写，是小津安二郎的延续（毕竟保罗是布列松和小津的门徒），这几个series故事原型来自于《罪与罚》。公式如下：被罪疚感折磨的男主人公，忧郁、孤独、自我放逐，写日记又颇有“地下人”的痕迹，带着宗教哲学的刨析，遇到弱者的同情和善念，女主人带着“索尼娅”的标记，缓冲悲剧和幸福的摇摆，最后忏悔走向救赎。前几部还不错，《light sleeper 》视觉上黑色电影手法，后面都是超验风格的路子。剧本和音乐突出的是《第一归正》，可惜投资不多影响视觉。这一部故事理得顺，但女主人公只是沦为符号，保罗通常很会选男演员，女演员的品味不太好。
Cineplex. International Village. 之前只有Park Theatre在播，还一直挺想看的，结过心心念念，就这个？？？一言难尽的无聊，是的，是无聊，都算不上烂，纯粹觉得不知道为何要这样的平铺直叙，只记得在一个又一个的casino喝了一杯又一杯Double, neat, whiskey. 还有去一家motel就全屋裹被套，这两件事了
沉闷的ptsd影片，理解不了情节背后的逻辑。。。
摄影和剪辑很加分。虽然但是，对于黑狱中的执行者没啥值得原谅的，尽管他也是个人。
还算不错，就是最后的结局有点意外，报个仇还把自己搭进去了，不是应该潇洒离去，逍遥法外的吗？
8.2/10 锋芒尽收，新旧表里被高度统一在数字摄影的迷离平面上，直至最后一个镜头定格在男性符号的隔断破除。今年最好的奥系电影（也当然与奥斯卡无缘）
套上这个无聊的复仇故事，奥斯卡的魅力可以说少了半分
Oscar Isaac 梳着大背头，不知为何令我想起了旧好莱坞时的演员... 画面和配乐不错，调子极慢极隐忍，然而末尾却感觉戛然而止。
和赌博毫无关系，本质上是一种治愈PTSD，虽然那不时出现的叹息与鱼眼镜头下的迷幻营造了一种身不我随的不适感，但还不如去看一遍出租车司机
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。

虐俘阴影祸后代，又成赎罪公路片。
Paul Schrader終其一生在做與布烈遜相同的事：為靈魂受盡折磨的主人公規劃一條通往終極「審判」的漫長路途。 1）關於光與白色和色彩的界定：白色吸附罪孽，是光的捕手，光被囚禁其中，黑色是光停止的地方；五彩繽紛的賭場是沿途經過的站點，是享樂主義者熱衷聚集之地。 2）關於選擇：Cirk，黑、白、灰色（不確定、懷疑主義）的交替；La Linda，過分奪目和刺眼的人造奇觀。3）Tell視Cirk和La Linda為自我救贖對象，某程度而言是錯誤選擇，什麼才是真正選擇？Schrader給出的答案承襲自Pascal，齊克果，到布烈遜和德萊葉的脈絡傳統：讓光得以解放的選擇。4) 結尾，當Tell有選擇意識地提出決鬥時，神蹟降臨：光從黑白灰的生存輪迴，色彩填塞的虛無面紗之中解脫，終見超驗的精神性空間。
