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.
童年的英雄，很高兴再看到你们。
I just wish I was like everybody else
还记得埃德加·赖特当年为《刑房》拍摄的那部伪预告片『Don't !』吗，本片实质上也是一部鬼屋片且同样夹杂着赖特浓重的个人情结。类似于昆汀电影的模式，开场麦肯齐的卧室如《低俗小说》中的“兔子餐厅”一般，而在这场复古巡礼的序幕后，随着安雅的登场，赖特一头扎进了自己的“好莱坞往事”。六十年代的SOHO区融高级餐厅、时尚潮店、大型影院、酒吧夜店、艺术社区及红灯区于一体，承载着几代英国青年的向往与记忆，未赶上那个年代的赖特，影宅属性使然让其对SOHO的传说充满幻想。铅黄片的诡艳与SOHO的气质天然相配，一则横跨了几十年的谋杀侦破故事将两位勇敢的女性连接，而各自的不同结局是时代的进步下对性别命运的反抗与改写。《威尼斯疑魂》等片虽是表面，但罗伊格式的蒙太奇炫技以极其虔诚的怀旧姿态让电影穿越了时间与空间。
比头号玩家还考验眼力！ 有点贴合一句台词 “越冷的梗笑的越久”
算是一次迪士尼彩蛋大全集了，还是打的怀旧牌，出现的都是经典的迪士尼动画人物，剧情无功无过，就像《疯狂动物城》，可整体还是偏弱，不得不说迪士尼对盗版这件事真的是深入骨髓，最后这两只松鼠的游戏小时候可没少玩
非常炫目的伦敦幻梦。最后略有泄气，但整体气质非同一般。最喜欢楼梯幻象那场戏，搭配那首歌You're my world，杀伤力十足。80
童年的英雄，很高兴再看到你们。
珊迪气场全开，魅力四射，剧本和镜头玩了一些小花活，有惊喜，但有些“女性主义又不完全女性主义”的设计注定会得罪部分豆瓣大师。想念埃德加原来那些不严肃电影了
赖特融了《威尼斯疑魂》和《阴风阵阵》吧，可惜他的个人风格明显不适合这种类型的电影。
强烈的影像风格，像是一场大型的MV，一场梦幻迷离的梦
很欢乐的片，2D+3D+真人的迪士尼IP大乱炖，故事的点子蛮有趣，两只花栗鼠超可爱！安迪迪再次本色出演——永远年轻，永远神经，超级逗比，超级爱～～～
1. 太让人烦躁了女主角，太烦了 2. 结尾那些该死的男性鬼魂还帮女主一把是怎么回事？究竟什么逻辑？ 所以从头到尾他们都是冤魂的设定？？可我以为他们在剥削女性？ 3. 这就是当代伦敦设计学院的设计水平？？？
当埃德加赖特将关注视角放置在女性身上时深刻感受到了至少是心理性别带来的理解隔阂//霓虹灯强烈的视觉效果却没有77版《阴风阵阵》直观上的惊悚效果 全片最惊悚的还是年代更迭之后女性依然互为镜像依然逃不出以男性主导的权力控制而她们的奋力挣扎与反抗依然是如此无力甚至会显出某种反应性的歇斯底里//前奏过长 到中段已经疲倦不堪 还好最终落点足够用力 不然整片将陷入导演无法掌控的拖沓和无趣//和1的远程观影
本片告诉我们：租房不讲究风水、穿衣服老从死人身上扒古着的后果，是十分惨烈的。
学校追梦段落仿佛迪斯尼青少年频道，附身的情感投射也是莫名其妙。最后跌破眼镜的悬疑转就更像打自己脸了，是啊，谁让你戏多，没事要代入我为我共情的。
本来是想来看Taylor，结果发现 Thomasin McKenzie各个造型都很惊艳！
漂亮的厌男片。纽约，伦敦，镜像，阶梯，60年代和复古思潮，让人很难不喜欢。
只能说导演个人风格大过剧情本身，噱头铺满整场，结尾算是能自圆其说。更像一部时光交错，光怪陆离的魔幻伦敦60年代大型宣传片。Ps：安雅·泰勒是越来越火了，从早前一些看过电影里叫不出名字但令人印象深刻的角色，到现在各种女主女配，本片的造型特别像石头姐的风格，而且饰演女主坏室友的西诺薇·卡尔森好像寡姐和猩红女巫的混合版，哈哈。
赖特当然是个“迷影导演”——这里取的意思是：他没有立场，他只顾寻求反类型的概念与叙事快感，这场对60年代的大型凝视秀（不只是男性在凝视舞台上的女性，也有女性观众在向往舞台，然而赖特却并没有探讨此事的意图），因为最后的结尾而没有带来丝毫反思性的结果。最后呈现出的，是社会中的男性受害者遭受了女性过多的怨气，女性受害者变为加害者而不被社会所接纳——男权社会似乎并未受到批判，女性获救的方式是“走出”就好，可是哪有那么简单呢？影片开头埃丽的表演状态就是60年代的歌舞片（模仿赫本），随着唱片卡碟才正式进入故事，这就已经预示了对浮华时代的解构性：铅黄电影是对女性的剥削，那个时代的歌舞片又何尝不是呢？赖特恐怕也意识到了自己的虎头蛇尾和无法自圆其说，于是在最后让男性（跨性别者）穿上女主设计的服装，无甚收效。
3.5星。我一看这小丫头片子，还有两幅面孔。
