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.
超级被打动，创作人被看见之前漫长的孤独疲惫和那份拼命与之撕扯的热爱太让人动容了。在这个已经长久被不安与焦虑笼罩的时代，在这个充满漂泊感与随时感到有可能被放弃的时间点，人类的热情与希望很需要一些被唤醒的时刻，感谢天才与艺术。很可惜的一件事是听不到小声喧哗聊聊这部电影了。
节奏流畅，情感充沛，音乐好听，乔纳森·拉森才华横溢，但也如同一块培根在生活的大铁板上忍受数不清的煎熬翻炒才有了上桌的资格。人生何其艰难，有使命感何其幸运。
音乐及演唱是还不错的，接地气，然而电影载体挺不适合这种形式手法的，结构上不断间离，观众不断出戏，没法持续投入情境，另外剧情也是美式套路，梦想现实，爱情友情，无甚新意，还被大段的音乐冲散，老实说，直接编成舞台音乐剧大概效果好得多
年近30艺术家面临事业友情爱情三重考验 歌好听 演的也好
时隔十年，虽然很多角色已经想不起来了，还是很好看很感慨的呀。南法的海和英伦的田园都很美。
其实最主要就是歌不太行，出现的所有的歌曲，洗脑程度和感染力传递性比《爱乐之城》《汉密尔顿》以及那些许许多多游客愿意花50刀的经典音乐剧差得远，差得远。故事线也比较老套，有感受到热情，但是方方面面都…cliche
肉眼可见的那种好看，时刻感受着扑面而来的热爱与执着，生活与事业，友情和爱情，相互对照彰显出「人生处处是舞台」的真谛，歌舞不错，加菲表演出彩。
因为是真实故事加一星，而且我还真的看过吉屋出售的音乐剧。整体是音乐剧形式的演出。
这才是能淋漓呈现当下流媒优势的音像制品，尽管电影语法/结构性较弱，LMM还是为其注入了难得轻逸的律动感。两种艺术体裁的融合不止体现于即兴唱段，还有情绪和画面的巧妙对接（泳道幻化成的五线谱，经典的天台抒情段落，偌大体育场内孤独的钢琴）。喜欢用脱口秀做scene-switching point的创意，观众直到结尾才露面，是对叙事上自传式口吻的印证。很多细节固然还可以深挖，但维持在目前的水平业已令人动容。生命倒计时前的任性执着，恰到好处的鸡血和感伤。
“一瞬间你就死了，一瞬间你就过时了”sad😥and you might have to keep on writing and writing until......
剧情也是够俗的，没想到歌舞部分更是灾难，难看又难听（歌词倒是挺有特色）。不如多拍拍加菲游泳。
看的上头了，哈哈哈哈，风格太文艺了吧。这一部没想到老爷还认了个兄弟，还多了套房，哈哈哈哈哈。删了六分钟txl剧情，对剧情没任何影响，最可惜的是老太太走了，看不到斗嘴了🤐
好一般… 白男first world problems+look我有minority friends。太奇怪了 不知道是剧本有改动还是咋回事 很难想象rent的作者写出这么自怜自艾的东西…
有趣，可爱，伤痛但幸福。竟然有几个镜头可以和lll联动，梦回加菲石头cp（dbq，我走偏了
That's life: getting past the unexpected, and perhaps learning from it. // Marriage is a novel, full of the plot twists along the way // I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. // Don't steer me, I'm not a racing car. // Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. 临终都带着幽默 //真实拍摄地Highclere Castle 的确因为拍电影才有资金进行维护
始于婚礼 终于葬礼 时代远去 让我安静的死去
happy ending for everyone的流水账
谁要说La La Land比这好，我只会觉得离谱。
其实不是很喜欢加菲，说不上来的感觉，不算喜欢，也不讨厌。看了乔纳森的照片，两个的相貌，还是有许多相像之处的。
In my potion of view, this is the best film of 2021. If you're nearly thirty and still in a hard time chasing your dream. This film could give you some inspiration.
