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.
这实际是一个关于救赎他人和自我救赎失败了的故事。男主是阿布格莱布监狱虐囚门事件的一名士兵，因为拍了虐囚自拍照，被判刑了，坐牢时自学成为赌神。出狱后成为职业赌徒，收益不错，但精神世界还在坐牢和赎罪，然后遇到了前战友的儿子，儿子一直想找虐囚的上司报仇，男主想帮助男孩精神解脱，最后给钱让其还债回归正常生活，没想到男孩去报仇还死了，男主放弃比赛亲自上阵杀了虐囚上司，然后报警坐牢。影片展现了战争，暴行&PTSD对美军及其家人的伤害，当男主以为自己及男孩获得了解脱的时候，却又发现自己已经无法摆脱心里的阴影，反而在牢里才能获得暂时的平静。这片子我不喜欢，我给3星6.3分，删掉了！
如果中间我没有因为疲惫而睡过去，我可能会更喜欢
还算不错，就是最后的结局有点意外，报个仇还把自己搭进去了，不是应该潇洒离去，逍遥法外的吗？
新黑色电影与赌片杂糅，鱼眼广角下的战争创伤与幽闭恐惧。保罗·施拉德还是很老派啊，看来年度十佳真是各花入各眼
他的这个造型真的有时候看着太奇怪了，感情线也很潦草，吻戏也要嘴角往下撇，像鲶鱼，哈哈哈。男二演的也不好。
基调和质感很不错 犯罪惊悚这个类型并不少见 人物很立体矛盾很合理 但这些优点随着剧情的推进慢慢的不见了 故事开始变得夸张浮躁 甚至在赌场中的镜头和气氛也变得很诡异男女感情戏也是没有任何作用 又是浪费脚本演员的典范
如果不是夜深人静的时候，我可能会真的看不下去。
保罗.施拉德这一次特别给劲儿！这部和他的上一部作品《第一归正会》真的是一样一样的，同样是两个几乎毫无关联的母题，又在一百多分钟的时间里使其串联在一起。还是那样荒诞的剧本、错位的人物、谜题一般的主角、迷幻的配乐，使整部电影充满了保罗.施拉德特有的吊诡气质。
Oscar Isaac最近出任主演有一种很不好的趋势，大家一起感慨他有多帅还有称赞围绕他打造的服化道有多华丽成为了出演电影差不多唯一值得讨论的东西。当然不是说他是个充分性意义上的坏演员，但事情变成这样就挺尴尬的。赌牌本身是个非常容易被overvalued的题材（作为半个统计系学生这个题材我印象里唯一跟靠谱沾边的是《决胜21点》…），这片子里甚至连牵强附会都很勉强单纯就拿出来凑数的，除了主演其他人也可有可无宛如路人，想说的东西导演拍了那么多年都要说烂了，结果我们就回到了只能干夸一下男主角造型真不错的境地
披着赌博片外衣的类黑帮片（犯罪片），但是故事没讲好。刚开始以为算牌有看点，其实不然。
想起了PTA的赌城纵横，故事简单却处处透着作者的气息。情节没那么复杂算计，也没有浮夸的爱恨纠葛，有的只是一个祈求宽恕的男人。最好的一点还在于不煽情。
好久没看过这么男的电影了…以及这么尴尬的对话。证明出租车司机真的无法复刻。
7.5 导演拯救剧本。并非如通常般着重展现赌牌、监狱、报仇这样充满“男子气概”重头戏，转而聚焦情感的流动表达。
本片是保罗·施拉德对布列松式超验风格的临摹。背负虐囚、军事监狱罪孽的ptsd主角企图通过沉湎赌场洗刷灵魂深处的恐惧，鱼眼镜头下血腥凶残的虐囚闪回直指关塔那摩监狱种种泯灭人性的罪行，身穿星条旗的赌徒连胜是一种对美国国家权威的隐喻。然而施拉德终究否定了赎罪、解脱的可能性，人终将被创伤和罪孽吞噬。
套上这个无聊的复仇故事，奥斯卡的魅力可以说少了半分
4.5 / 第一部施拉德。粗俗如我只在本片 get 到了伊萨克的肉体，所以，肉欲爆棚却演这么个冷淡阴沉的角色太违和了。而且凡梦境就用 VR 镜头展现，莫不是施拉德拜了毕赣为师？戴上眼镜才能身临其境罢了。
男主的表演好棒，起初面无表情的赌博机器，发现小伙子去报仇丧命时候的微张的鼻翼，最后发现喜欢的人来探监时候会心一笑
一个比较好的题材被导演和编剧毁得只剩形式不见高潮与转折 旧时的伤痛没说好 打扑克也没讲到点子上 两相不连贯 结果平淡得有如催眠
算和被算的人生，背后是“逃不出五指山”式的隐痛。
21/10/4：施拉德年轻的时候还能写俩本子，做导演他可能缺乏写基本功和想象力。
