A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999 Author: Dave Joerg (joerd000@mail.zdv.uni-mainz.de) &quotFloer&quot 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 Ms, author and director of the thriller &quotAmsterdamned&quot. The Floer 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 &quotZoendal&quot - the &quotSun Valley&quot 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 Floer family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Floer who searches other people&#39s 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 Floers would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland&#39s most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of &quotSun Valley&quot-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 Ms 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. Floers (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dued German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name: &quotFloers -Eine Familie zum knutschen&quot Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Ms 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.
