Review of Floris

Floris (1969)
Funny, adventurous and a lot of laughs.
12 June 2002
I grew up with Floris, it's one of the first things we ever had on tape at home. Even now, every time I watch the series, I see new things and laugh at the same jokes. It's a romanticised version of the Middle-Ages, and it has it all: a dashing nobleman (Rutger Hauer, who else), his sidekick, a love interest, an arch-enemy and all the swash-buckling they can cram into an half an hour show. It's all very funny, especially the scenes where Sindala shows that he's the brains in the outfit. It's really too bad that the tapes are only available in black and white, even more so, because they were filmed in color. The color-tapes were then reprinted to B/W, and the originals were lost. Even so, the B/W gives a nice feeling of age, and it's not bothersome or boring. Everyone should just watch it for themselves!
