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.
成功人士的悲惨过去是个题材，可是的确烂到爆
极致纯粹感叹享受，这让人向往地的神秘，过分美妙了~
“非完美母亲”的定位让电影变得更具真实感，但这种真实却在每个时段的浮光掠影和过度渲染中被消磨掉了。
观影中，不断分析，然后不断推倒，一直往隐喻方面想，结果还是关于赞颂人类征服自然。不分析的话，完全可以当意大利风情画，自然景观看。当你发现影像无聊了，声音却变得如此动听（大家影片结束后一起听水滴落下的声音好浪漫）

半梦半醒之间看的，喝了酒，整个人都在飘。放映厅里好冷，看到后半场，我好像就躺在某个洞里。有时候觉得看电影这件事是过去和当下的交融，它又会参与到你的未来。这里的当下不止是眼前的影像世界，也是你所处的外部世界给你带来的所有感官体验。
大概相当于音乐里的水疗音乐或者冥想音乐，很舒缓平静，用一些高科技拍出了很朴素但诗意的故事。看到山窝里的村庄的人们晚上聚在酒吧门口看电视，觉得好温馨好有安全感，被感动到了。看困了是真的，但是还是觉得好。（好像我的世界，里面有村民，有牛有羊有山，然后一群史蒂夫下去探洞，就是没有小白在里面！）
威尼斯主竞赛第八场，直接睡死过去。我以为是《洞穴奇案》或者是《理想国》，结果是《人与自然》。
有被感动到，但完全是因为真人真事，而不是因为电影本身。

观感比较矛盾，一方面这片的品质在同类型作品中品质比较一般，前四十分钟太过急促，很多可以展开的东西被挤在一起，而且不少地方提了一嘴就没了下文，一些桥段有用力煽情之嫌，而且我看的是国语版，演员表演的魅力受到了明显的制约，有机会要补一下粤语版的。但另一方面，演员的魅力真是无可阻挡，尤其是吴君如和梁仲恒的母子戏份，就算有时候我难免觉得情节刻意，也依旧被情绪感染得热泪盈眶，吴君如的表演当得起任何一座奖杯，除此之外有几处音乐剪辑配合得不错。总的来说其实亮点有不少，可惜导演未能将之紧密联系成一个完整的作品，很多地方明显照着此类题材的模板拍，但完成度不高
跑步不能跑一辈子，热爱不能当饭吃，就好像一切都找不到答案却又是答案。你只管跑，你永远是妈妈的神奇小子。
#2021北影节#虽然专门设置只在杜比声影厅放映，可终究敌不过各路观众发出的各种嘈杂之声。加上太多没有重点的大全景，和相对略显快速的剪辑和明暗场景切换（总是还没能沉浸于这个镜头就切到了下一个），无可奈何的走神了，到最后也没能再看进去。 却在某一天突然明白了洞与老人的联系，或许洞就意味着人的一生，或是任何未被人所全知的事物？当对它的探索愈发深入，对它的了解愈加明晰，它的生命也即面临终点。

啊，城镇长大水泥丛林里长大的孩子对这种稍不做作的贴近自然的影像就有天然好感…为绝佳的视听效果加一星——感谢反派影评的推荐，一不小心看了部新片的亚洲首映~
【2021北影节展映】纯粹看画面的片子，风景、构图，有IMAX可能会更好？ 平淡到以为是纪录片。
吴君如太牛了，最佩服这种喜剧演员，演起正剧也毫不含糊，岁月神偷和这部，都好棒。
①选材很好毋庸置疑，因为这就是一部内容意义大于艺术性的电影，我也有被感动到。但是导演的手法太过普通，有些煽情的地方用力过猛，有些表达过于直白，这些都会让这部电影缺少一些“电影感”。
一般的运动电影，有点刻意煽情，但是题材不错，有一些段落也比较出彩，还是值得一看
#11th BJIFF 12th#20210930深影中国巨幕//临时决定看的，没想到这么好！以极具现代性的视角（村民与耶稣像共眠，电视中的高楼和歌舞），探讨人类对未知的探索。几乎每一个镜头都是对完整空间和完整/多个动作的同时呈现，洞里洞外皆是大师手笔。神来之笔来自影片中部，灯光一边射向未知的黑暗，一边射向垂暮之人的眼睛，人类探索未知的过程是否也正是认识自己的过程？声音不再是形象的补足和修饰，而真正为电影注入了真实，滴水，虫鸣仿佛都具有灵性。加上结尾的迷雾，仿佛老塔附体，令人两股战战，震撼无言。这样的电影如果在小屏幕看恐怕就丧失所有魅力了，觉得自己太幸运！
