Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
虽然也是意料之中，巴特，就这？就这？也就最后半小时感觉稍上了点儿劲儿。从某种角度来讲有点后期李安那味儿，但只有形没有魂 -- 就理论上也是平等的凝视，理论上也挺细腻，但真的缺力量和说服力。而且李安其实在柔和的初印象里其实非常尖锐，而赵婷所有的拳脚都是虚的，一点力气都没有。可以argue是禅意，但我觉得文本内的东西太沉重了，这样掠过太不应该。值得称赞的是里面用的素人演自己，真的挺舒服的。值得骂一句的是音乐。太jb满了。土的要死。想听听公路上的噪音，一次没听到过，疯了。
起初以为是命运的安排使人孤独，后来发现是自己选择了孤独，就像狂风巨浪中的鸟，在飞翔的时候才能体会到生命的广阔和人性的不屈，最后才明白，在路上是因为不想与心中那个他的影子诀别，不能停下，因为停下悲伤就会湮没自己。
一个孤傲女性固执地选择了一种另类生活方式，也许看上去苍凉，却有着不同寻常的诗意和浪漫。不觉得本片有所谓的宏大叙事，或者控诉指责甚至救赎，就是对一种生活方式的诗般描述。音乐格外切合影像，非常动人。
@ L'Epée de bois 刚好一个多月没去电影院了 电影院观感加一分
视角选题立意都很好 很喜欢导演的态度 客观展现事实并尊重个人选择 一直偏好这种有意义的影片 反映现实问题并引人思考 期待导演下一部影片
前一个小时觉得此片不过是技术上相对于《骑士》更成熟了，剪辑更优秀，有些画面快刀斩乱麻的舒爽。后一个小时渐入佳境。
科恩嫂如在三广中一样硬朗而深刻，脸上刀削斧刻般却很耐看。
流浪、孤独、放逐，并不是通向幸福，走向乌托邦。就像哲学里的经典命题——自由意志真的存在吗？我们的生活不完全是自己的选择，也是环境和现实作用的结果。走入流浪、孤独和放逐的生活，无关是否自由，但要坚强面对，即便在别人看来很可怜，甚至像是命运里的小丑。
最喜欢的是她这一路的风景，那只巨大的恐龙雕像我最爱！还有在酒馆里跳舞，在清澈的湖里泡澡，去触摸古树，去爬馆打工，撸蛇喂鳄鱼吃饭，和轮胎俱乐部的老友一起谈天说地，一起看1987年的星光，遥望木星，感受原子落在手心的奇迹。还有在房车里吃炸鸡，睡在世界各地的角落，好羡慕。但是这样的生活仅仅只有勇气是无法实现的，你总要失去些什么，比如亲情与归宿......与人对话的几处我最难忘她姐姐说，你比所有人都要勇敢和诚实，有时你比我自己还要懂我。啊！！我觉得我还是算了。我做不到不告而别，做不到狠心，我总会回来，虽然我对外称作孤狼，但我（暂时）仍是懦弱的凡人。还有她和戴夫不告而别，在他家客厅的小椅子上坐着，又轻手轻脚地走，哎我以后如果离家出走肯定会模仿一遍的。
当然，很容易指摘说赵婷的改编过于浪漫化，但电影本身并不必然承担社会学责任。就其审美层面而言，这一百分钟的大写意，既一言不发，又滔滔不绝，那些痛苦的难堪的窘迫的屈辱的，被省略也被超越。东坡和佛印，肚里有什么，眼里又有什么？
科恩嫂的凸嘴有一种傲气和韧劲，搭配本片茫茫无际的荒野，让人觉得这个故事是挺立的，不会倒下的。
就是这个片儿把《审判芝加哥七君子》比下去的啊？
起初以为是命运的安排使人孤独，后来发现是自己选择了孤独，就像狂风巨浪中的鸟，在飞翔的时候才能体会到生命的广阔和人性的不屈，最后才明白，在路上是因为不想与心中那个他的影子诀别，不能停下，因为停下悲伤就会湮没自己。
Ludovico Einaudi 的钢琴配乐太加分了，尤其那曲Oltremare直接听哭，配合电影更哭惨了
太抒情了额。风景太美了人太白了戳不中痛点。隔靴搔痒还要留下一线希望实在不必。不如《天涯沦落女》。
虽然周围人都抱以不屑，但我认为是不错的。摒弃戏剧性，大量呈现状态，国外是认可这种路线的，然而国内只认戏剧性，总在找冲突找人物关系找动作，对电影的理解未免有点太呆板狭隘了。
我曾见过你人生的风起云涌，也依然感受你一望无际的孤独，面对过去，迎向未来，与自己的人生与灵魂和解。“I’ll see you down the road”。
如果有人值得回忆
一星半不入，“叙事”这件事总是知易行难......
But what if I am blind? What if I am so numb that could feeling nothing even pain? What if I am poor to death, to stink, to disability of movement? What if I know nothing about Shakespeare?
