French term or phrase: bide noir
En français, on dit couramment d'un film qui n'a pas de succès du tout que c'est un bide noir". Existe-t-il une façon consacrée en néerlandais de faire un superlatif du terme "flop"?

"Selon que ce film se révèle un bide noir, un petit bide, un petit succès, un gros succès ou un triomphe, notre avenir devient sombre, incertain ou radieux."

agree  Ide Verhelst (X): In het Frans wordt ook heel vaak "navet" gebruikt, waarvoor de van Dale "snertfilm" als vertaling geeft.

agree  NMR (X): of enorme flop (er komt geen mens, dus het tegengestelde van een kaskraker). "Navet" zegt iets over de kwaliteit.
