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.
未来罪行，概念先行。吃掉塑料，净化垃圾，保护地球，不是罪行。故弄玄虚，不明所以，明星扎堆，也救不起。
为蕾老师的牺牲演出加一星，其他太难懂了，看得云里雾里
堆砌概念和绝对柯南伯格的元素，通篇给人一种故弄玄虚的不适感，一种又高潮又没有高潮的感觉。
#Cannes 75# IMAX重看后确定了还是喜欢。从人类被新事物支配的恐惧到人类被自身进化支配的恐惧，一贯的高概念化。
为什么Viggo这么喜欢蹲着，全程气泡音，有点担心他的喉咙，喝点gollum juice
未来人类生理追随技术的进步，不再感受疼痛。快感的阈值不断攀升，需要靠手术才能满足。女一女二被男主吸引，不像是艺术上的共鸣，更像慕––残。
果然是个，，，，，片子
看完觉得还是old sex有意思，手术看着好疼，这些新式高潮就留给你们新新人类去享受吧，拜。
Porn is also a kind of art.
抛去生理性的厌恶来审视这部影片，这是一部深刻、颠覆性的身体宣言。柯南伯格贬损了人世俗意义的精神性，骄傲地呐喊到“Body is reality. Body is politics.” 他以身体为中心建构了道德体系和政治体系，新器官的生长不再是一种病理性的错乱，也不需要一种切割术来对抗身体的进化；相反，身体的进化就是正确的内在美， 是真正的精神性的体现，由此支持了器官改造手术的合理性（因为是出于自己意愿），由此定义了新的性爱。最后一个如同圣女贞德的镜头升华了整部电影，Saul彻底抛弃了过去虚伪的反抗身体的艺术，而主动接受身体的变化，这是多么颠覆式的somatic enlightenment!
当世界重回保守主义时代的时候，我们更加需要大卫·柯南伯格的激进与先锋。《未来罪行》更像是柯南伯格对于“肉身机器”的未来书写，身体的欲望逐渐被快感取代，手术变成一场肉身的自慰，身体的舞台化展示成为集体高潮的仪式，改造身体同时也是主宰身体，进而主宰对身体的革命认知。冰冷死寂的肉体，因为那一滴眼泪，而充满了哲学的诗意。
Surgery is the new sex
看预告时候最先被片子的美学风格吸引，其次才是璀璨的演员阵容。最先把我搞不适的是片子的美学风格，其次才是演员表演，其实主要是小k，她已经连续接了两个角色，都演成了神经质，话都不能正常说。
高概念下竟如此保守，把人类进化的探讨拉低到要通过手术，切割去体会新性爱及快感。不得不说，格局小了。
身体故真实，创造性地发展，思想的转向，人类未来的猜想
柯南堡每十几年赶一次时髦，80s的《录像带》讲点媒介病毒，90s的《感官游戏》讲点虚拟实境，这次讲无痛非进化，本来以为要对药物下手，结果只是提供个背景材料。表面上换汤换药，未来罪行压根没拍出什么耳目一新的东西，这个paradox of evolution还是自己抄袭自己用了《感官游戏》的两派对立，现实派、虚拟派是有的，但什么长器官派不长器官派、吃工业垃圾派不吃工业垃圾派就比较无趣了。用的道具也还是那点土得掉渣的内脏虫虫软东西。其实单纯讲进化、接入、体验、性瘾，前面两部已经拍得够好了。就身上打洞这点这个用滥的标准柯南堡性暗示，他还怕观众不懂非要大白话讲出来。这几年憋着不拍科幻好像也没啥长进啊
越来越不喜欢这种概念片，完全放弃了故事和叙事么？
疼痛与欢愉的两面，行为艺术之“掏心掏肺给你看”，看完感觉脑子被解剖了一遍…
还是主题深度上皆如是
我们都注意到了身体，但注意到场景了吗？所有场景都是破败的，而且是一种独特的破败，不是那些后启示录电影的崩溃和回归自然，也不是史前题材的原始和简陋，而是一种好像从意识形态深处蔓延开来的破败，大量的室内场景：每一处墙壁、每一件家具，它们的纹路、质地都是陈旧的、斑驳的，但却又给人很结实耐用的感觉。少量的室外场景，建筑物的颜色，灰暗的天空，毫无装饰的朴素城市景观，全部都是水泥墙……给人一种工业时代初期而非未来华丽图景的意象，可见这种衰败并不意味着死亡，但确实是某种社会止步不前的象征。整个影片所构造的景观，完全就是去掉了各种政治符号的前苏联或朝鲜那样的城市，它们当然不是为了暗喻前苏联和朝鲜，而只是一种想象性的挪用。我觉得，这是属于柯南伯格的独特“XX朋克”。
