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.
“巴黎”不仅仅是巴黎，更是世界上任何一座令人向往的城市。如果你想要长久立足于此，认清自己的位置，远比一切都来得重要。
拍巴尔扎克的作品真的很少见。里面还有多兰，开始还以为我认错了，不看身高的话颜值很打眼，而且演得挺不错啊。
看了大多數影評都反省這片抨擊媒體道德和記者良知。其實感覺導演更多是借著「Lucien的故事」警示我們人性中「善與惡」、「慾與妒」。
太平了，太冗长了，旁白太多了......
没有看过原著，有点羞愧。但这部电影并没有辜负巴尔扎克，成功勾起了我对于纯文学的再度热爱。声色犬马的巴黎幻影下，人物灵魂被层层剥离，最后见好就收，留给观众足够的空间去品尝这苦涩的人生余味。
笔锋与爱，两种力量的较量。却输给了政治家！
片如其名。空洞滥调。同意这是有声书而不是电影。
根据巴尔扎克同名小说《幻灭》里的吕西安那一条线改编，文学性强，观赏性也不差。真是“美梦易醒、韶华易逝、镜花水月”般的幻灭。看完联想到了为了梦想在大城市漂泊的那些人，像吕西安般结局的人是不是大多数？
在世俗，金钱，谎言，所谓的名声中迷失自己……困在自以为自己很厉害的牢笼中，最终被现实打败，想象幻灭。
看完电影倒是对鸭鸣报名字的由来有所领悟，一个感受：要在世俗意义上活得有点尊严，有没有才华不要紧，有没有头脑才是关键，19世纪的法国是这样，现在亦如是。
又一个类似于连的小镇青年来到巴黎闯荡，找情妇，找工作，忙到最后又如何。。从前不可能的，如今一一成为可能：银行家从政了，平民也可以发达了。。。天真+虚荣，害人又害己……
-很有智慧？那是做作；
纷繁乱世，最难的不是看清局势，而是弄不明白自我
全世界法语电影和画外音最配。问题是这种伎俩的画外音简直让导演成了废物。要你何用？全都靠说了还拍什么电影。印厂曾经也是浪漫的，手工永远比工业大生产有情怀。
-结构好？那就是它老套！

看吧，有金钱和文字的地方，就有虚荣、谎言、嫉妒、争斗…… 两百年前与两百年后并无差别。 Lucien 身上有巴尔扎克早年巴黎经历的影子，而Nathan则是他幻想中的自己。仔细想想演员选得挺合适的，Benjamin Voisin虽然不是正统帅哥，但脸上有那种天真与狂热交织的感觉。
影片在造型以及画面感塑造上，将19世纪巴黎各个阶层现状生动的演绎出来，《幻灭》改编自巴尔扎克的同名小说，导演对其原著改变不大，基本保留了原始旁白，展现了导演独特的艺术追求。喜欢影片最后一个段落，吕西安走在森林中，在湖边脱去所有衣物，走向水中，仿佛在向观者传达这里才是他最终的归属，既没有世俗也没有喧嚣与繁华，唯有自己和空荡的灵魂，导演运用特写镜头聚焦吕西安面部，眼神中透露着无尽的疲惫，无奈与重生。
讲的是一个年轻的外省诗人随贵妇情人进入巴黎、被丢下于是转行做小报记者、借助各路朋友敌人摸爬滚打逐渐声名鹊起、企图重新获得贵族头衔最终彻底幻灭的经历。
等到揭露大前提，就必须要面对这个创作本身的问题。不过整体上对老式西部故事的气质把控还是挺不错的。
