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.

大体上放弃了故事性，转而追求若隐若现的符号寓意和别致的视听体验，倒也不能说是无可取之处。整体观感相当写意， 枝叶蔓生、光暗相比，确有漫步于泥金抄本当中的味道，只是其情节也一如泥金抄本中的怪奇故事一样莫名其妙，鬼才知道高文爵士那些一点都不精彩的离奇遭遇到底代表什么。要不是它真的很“好看”，不然真的会沦为影像酷刑呢。
形而上的说法：如何成为大写的人；通俗点的说法：妈宝成长记。视听语言美丽，巨人部分略感动。
看不懂的欧洲文艺；更看不惯的欧洲文艺；这是一部拍给西方人看的影片。
一流的配置，二流的故事，三流的讲述。电影起了一个很好的开局，但后面却走了公路片的模式，镜头、画面、服装都非常美，现实与神秘放在一起也很有看懂的冲动，但还是一路不知所云。收尾的凝想还算一个不错的段落，往往是回闪，而它却是看向未来。终于，人头落地也就轻松了。
故事没什么新意，讲述一个成长的故事，掺杂着巫术内容，哪怕主角是一个骑士并且了解了骑士精神与影片段落的对照，整部作品仍旧是一个视觉表现力很强的童话故事罢了
光影之作，一段骑士精神的成长历程，很幽魅神秘
就很中世纪的那种诗歌故事，充满萧索、奇幻、脏乱差和难以名状的精神分裂感，构图、光影、摄影都很棒。但，没别的意思，远距离交通那么不发达的年代，印裔感明显的男主真是很让人出戏啊。
7/10 故事被改得有点过了。摄影配乐都是A24喜闻乐见水平
随机挑的片子，没想到哲学味儿那么浓，有点“格林童话”的意思。
先失去greatness，再失去kindness，只留下fame？ or cowardice
我没文化，必须配着知识分子写的影评才懂演了什么。有关骑士精神的暗喻是令我感兴趣的一个点。感叹一下Dev Patel资源真是不错。
好温馨，好治愈，片长有点短，如果更长就更好了😌
(6.5/10). 和Ghost Story一样，是关于时间和死亡的引导冥想，但不如Ghost Story来的更有诗意。镜头和光影都美轮美奂，但故事是我比较不喜欢的那种寓言故事，就像第七封印，没看懂就一头雾水，看懂了又流于说教。中间的环绕镜头，主角变成一堆枯骨是神来之笔，像是一次不净观冥想，然后镜头慢慢环绕回去，影片仁慈的给了第二次机会，也预示了结尾的处理方式。中间夜宿凶宅帮小姐姐找头的一段，颇有聊斋志异的神韵。结尾让人久久不愿离开，但过程多有煎熬拉低了印象分。总之就是一个存在主义视角的故事，绿衣骑士象征所有人避无可避的终极命运，未知死焉知生，直面死亡恐惧才能更好的生活blah blah，像是欧文亚隆的直视骄阳。这类影片的问题是，它提了一个类似于绝症的终极问题，影片本身却远远算不上一剂猛药。
年度怪异电影，一边被吓得瑟瑟发抖一边疯狂大笑。什么邪典剧情。如果不是男主是Dev Patel，我觉得我是看不下去的。
真的有必要拍成这样一部长片吗？国王把高文叫出来真的不是坑他吗？光影布景都赞，我懂，要说守信勇敢，我也懂，但是故事真的太简单啦，还有许多细节，可能是知识匮乏，也可能是文化代沟，完全get不到电影灵魂。

总算看了，喜欢，画面太美了，在奇怪的点被治愈了哈哈哈。
讲述一位环保骑士踏上奇异之旅寻找真实的自我，最后看似差点没找着然后又找着了的故事
年轻的高文，不要当骑士，也无需变伟大。人面对被斩首的命运走上前走，哪怕不接受最后的迎头一击也无可非议，但永远不要被一条不可破的绳索捆绑，顶着不存在的头颅过一世。太爱太爱，不出意外会是我的年度最爱，这正是传说在我梦中的模样。在最后的最后，绿色会覆盖一切。
