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.
想起Regina元旦深夜在ATM机取暖的流浪汉，以及问他u okay？的Nathan
鸡皮疙瘩都看出来了，难以想象这么年轻的导演竟然能表达的如此成熟、克制、灵动、自由，如果在电影院看估计得哭
现实来自感情，感情来自现实，你也不知道，谁的问题
本片故事线极为简单，导演不着墨在人物关系，而是轻描淡写，女主弗恩开着房车在路上，遇见了许多和她一样的人，他们各自有其在路上的理由，“去看看美好的世界”，让自己的余生不是躺在病床上，在路上去遇见你想遇见的人……弗恩最后与“圣诞老人”对话，她停不下来，停下来就抑制不住思念她过世的丈夫波，正如“圣诞老人”只有在路上才能“遇见”他过去的儿子。但本片最令人印象深刻的还是路上的风景，大部分时间都是音乐➕摄影镜头，不过除了少数的年轻人，在路上的多为苍老的人，也许只有活到那个年龄经历人生的起伏才有勇气离开住所奔向未知的旅程，探索无尽的风景。
是我记忆里最在路上的电影了，像候鸟一样的离别与相逢。没有在时代而是归结在个人上找到一些本质的原因，也算是讨巧的地方吧。但如果没有办法深入谈一些时代群像的东西，可能对于这个这么好的题材来说，观众确实很难满意。
剪辑和叙事的果断和延宕导致整部片子的时间和空间都比较模糊，更像是动物迁徙一般无知无觉，我觉得是优点。
虽然游牧民的生活窘迫困顿，但摄影和配乐却生生令这种生活颇有骑士的浪漫。还记得《海边的曼彻斯特》里那个无法和过去和解的Lee，勇敢而诚实的Fern，她也许走不出了，所以选择了上路。
有点失望，要不是女主的演技，实在无法忍受废柴般的镜头。
❶ 我見過寫詩的乞丐，彈吉他的手機貼膜師，所以相信底層不止肯洛奇，也會有吉普賽詩意（臉龐村莊裡不就有個以宇宙為家的浪漫流浪漢嗎）著墨少不同於無 ❷獨立堅韌又保持距離的善意 ❸內布拉斯加收甜菜，在亞馬遜的臨時工作，土豆山下孤獨蹲坐，深夜降溫的停車站，洗澡時沖走身上污垢，借錢碰壁，生存技能的互相傳授，停車過夜被驅逐...哪個不是生活的困苦呢 ❹收集石化的棕櫚木；荒野裡的黃昏；去大房車參觀驚嘆有洗衣機，假裝出發去夏威夷；在動物園看餵食鱷魚被嚇到；觀星體張開右手接住1987年星光並感受原子爆炸到手中；舉起多孔石塊看遠處山脈；swankie發來的燕群視頻 ❺ salute to the earth ship ❻不是homeless，是houseless ❼將遠方的石頭投入火堆中懷念我。
tv版拼凑。第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》。
Calm. I love Frances McDormand.
比起他们
对于成千上万个Fern来说, 生活是一种选择, 或许现实没有给他们选择的余地, 但他们却永远葆有去选择的勇气。
Some kind of healing trip.

Home. Is it just a word, or is it something you carry within you? 漂泊不是无家可归，而是带着家上路。期待很高，但看完略有些失望。电影通片“情绪流”，缺少真正有力量的文本支撑；视听方面给我的感觉是中规中矩，钢琴配乐不贴剧情且在很多时候都显得多余（正面例子是断背山的吉他配乐）。相似题材更喜欢另一位女导演Debra Granik的那部《不留痕迹》。
画面很有质感，可能是年纪大了，越来越看不得这些揭露人间惨痛现实的电影了
“献给不得不上路的人”。常常与浪漫联系在一起的房车里，有那么一群充满着悲伤、孤寂不得不在路上的人。
每天都是未知
See you down the road.
