　　A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
　　Author: Dave Joerg (joerd000@mail.zdv.uni-mainz.de)
　　"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.

　　如果说《想当年》是费里尼对少年时代的回忆，《八部半》是对他中年创作危机的记载，《罗马》是对他所爱的城市的礼赞，那么本片就是他对Cinecitta电影厂的颂歌。
　　影片将回忆、嘲讽、自省、幻想等元素融合在一起，让我们见识了镜头前后的各种人物。影片高潮是《甜蜜的生活》的重映把片中主角重新聚集一堂，颇有一点大师主掌央视《同一首歌》的味道。
