Flodder
Short description
Flodder is a Dutch comedy about an antisocial family who move from a poor neighbourhood into a wealthy residential area as part of a social experiment. The household is headed by Ma Flodder and includes several children of different fathers, ranging from young to adult, along with an elderly man in a wheelchair. Once installed in a luxury villa with a garden and pool, the family's behaviour clashes with the expectations of their well-off new neighbours and causes ongoing friction and upheaval in the area.
Dick Maas directed, following his debut The Lift (1983); he also produced the film with Laurens Geels. Nelly Frijda plays Ma Flodder, and the cast includes Huub Stapel as Johnnie, René van 't Hof and Tatjana Simić as two of the Flodder children, Horace Cohen as Henkie and Lou Landré as Jacques "Sjakie" van Kooten. The film runs 111 minutes and is a comedy.
On IMDb it holds 6.7/10 from around 8,300 votes, while on TMDB it has 6.4/10 from about 160 votes. The two audience scores are close, suggesting a fairly consistent reception. Flodder sits second in the director's chronological filmography, between The Lift and Amsterdamned.
What's left behind the scenes
- When the Flodders are packing, preparing to move, a siren can be heard in the background. However, judging by the sound, this siren does not belong to either the Dutch police or the ambulance service. Dutch police cars have two different tones, and ambulances have three, but neither matched the sound from the film.
