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.
偏向舞台剧，对白也是，光影也是，看完不眠之夜沉浸舞台剧之后再来看这个
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage，
舞台劇的獨白，雖是黑白但是每幀都能感受到畫面帶來的鮮明感！每位演員的演技可以說是相當在線，整個佈景也是相當了得。
有兴趣真的可以去看看《蜘蛛巢城》，光、影、声、演员调度、相机调度的精妙结合。
虽然我不懂科恩兄弟这种风格，但仍然大受震撼
对于向来不在看之前了解演职员表等背景的人来说，看到是乔尔科恩导演挺惊讶的，一个是他脱离科恩兄弟这一导演组合，再一个科恩兄弟的作品一向是无限接近现实，再加上自编的剧本，代表性的如《冰血暴》，而本片改编自莎士比亚的经典戏剧《麦克白》，很明显和科恩之前的风格大不相同，影片采用1.37:1接近正方形的比例和黑白色调，布景极简，作为电影舞台感更重，脸部特写居多，关注点集中在演员演技上。而台词也充满原著中的诗性，。
竟然出奇的好看？！不愧为莎士比亚的著作改编 词藻太华丽了 麦克白听取预言后所做决定却与预言大相庭径 这也就埋下了悲剧的种子 随着麦克白的头颅落地 他的故事也随之落幕
每一位功成名就的大明星都想要一个证明自己有台词天赋的机会
嗯……其实并不理解，选择这种形式，为何又选择这些演员？
莎翁的作品还是伟大。麦克白的悲剧或许在于无法听到自己的声音，无法循着自己的使命妥善过一生，听了太多谗言蒙蔽了自己的双眼。
形式华丽、构图精致、摄影绝美、表演扎实，奈何以伯格曼《第七封印》般肃穆的影像风格复刻黑泽明《蜘蛛巢城》电影质感对莎翁文本的经典诠释，细节上做得再极致，也不过是邯郸学步的削足适履。抽离了科恩兄弟引以为傲的荒诞底色，在视觉上加buff也不过是一场极致华丽的舞台秀，却没有科恩式的电影感，于是沦为学院派气息浓厚的情怀之作，在美学上是精彩的影像实验，于电影本体却鸡肋许多。
非常享受的电影，舞台仪式感好强，音效特棒，黑白摄影牛逼。演员演的过瘾，我们看的也非常爽，太短了，意犹未尽。希望科恩兄弟联手再把莎士比亚电影继续拍下去。
科恩采用表现主义，却又把古典表现得过于古典，反而少了一些新意
Shakespeare Four Tragedies之一的Macbeth在過往的文學作品以及影視作品都算為一篇被改編到爛了的菜市場作，A24企圖交出完全不一樣的Macbeth
在欧洲的传统叙事中总喜欢插入一则带有宿命论的神谕。
开头从浓雾中走来的麦克白，结尾处遮天蔽日的群鸦，以及荒野女巫，分别从我这里获得一颗星。
文学的电影或是电影的文学跟“莎士比亚”一搭边，很难回避阐释的文学面向，比如最后麦克白跟麦克达夫终极之战，“I have no words, my voice is in my sword”，所有角色从来不会正面回复，大家不会直言“弑君、篡位、复仇或者一场血腥的围攻”，而是先打个比方将暴虐的行动修饰一番，再将动机或形势的预判都藏在女巫的预言中，总之，作为作者的莎士比亚很机智地摆脱了文学可能会给自己带来的意识形态麻烦。得到王位或者失去王位都是“君权神授”，Birnam山的移动暗指麦克白王权最后的倾圮，而女巫是预言家并促成了预言的兑现，显得“神的有意安排不可违抗”，而臣民不得不听从天命，最终，女巫这一角色成为服务于王权的道具，有必要时会成为政治斗争的替罪羊。文学可以转译一个时代不便于言说的部分。
科恩妻子劝科恩兄弟决裂，对照麦克白的悲剧。
一言难尽，但作为麦克白电影演绎的比法鲨那版好。
3.5/5，极简的摄影和场景设计，感觉整体更适合舞台表达，个人不是很喜欢此类风格。
