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.
五星好评里估计大部分都是上海人或在上海生活过的人。很久没有一部电影能够那么的有上海的米道了，情调也有，爱情故事也讲得好，金句频出，插曲配乐也赞，喜欢八仙饭店的吞吐这首歌。有几帧画面拍得很有质感，李小姐一头紫发对着窗口吞云吐雾，老白拿着高跟鞋在雨中行走，那是爱情暧昧的模样。这种感觉和《志明与春娇》很像，一部港味一部沪风，都是爱情佳作。原本以为这神话讲的是老白的爱情神话，没想到是老乌的爱情神话，作为电影角色我是相信这个神话的，相信老乌讲的是真的。唯一的败笔是老白的儿子居然上海话不太会讲，虽然90后这辈上海话是有点没落了，但也不至于这么洋泾浜，黄明昊功课做的不太够啊。
拖沓了拖沓了，人物可以砍掉一两个。oh by the way 房子哪能这么早过户的，他妈哈港八港，他妈脑子瓦特！
8/10。看完后忍不住拍手称赞“灵足”！它的存在让中国电影有了新的可能性。全沪语的日常对话让上海风情在举手投足间肆意流淌，导演在致敬费里尼的过程中做得最好的一点就是拍活了一个城市。同时，它的笑点是高级的，女性形象再也不是固化的了，甚至男性形象都呈现出丰富性。每个演员都散发着魅力，三人美术馆的交锋戏让人拍案叫绝。市井与艺术、神话与日常，是可以相互融合、相互转化的。在真与假之间，我们寻着喷泉，睡倒在电影院，穿越大半个世界，构造出自己的爱情神话。
感觉导演在努力营造出一种“格调”出来，不是那种假模假式的装腔作势，而是一群人融入自己的生活后展现出的一种舒适状态，但问题是整个圈层立在了精致有闲的小资阶级之上，导致整体显得有些失真。
很喜欢倪虹洁转身回到ktv的一次叹气，张牙舞爪的时候活得太正确了，那句叹气就像一个缺口，一个从正确步入真实的人生的缺口。
有一些小钱，有两把刷子，有老也有小，
2.5 / 抓住了一些人物的游离时刻。不过整体的结构还是有些粗糙，基本是在几个高密度戏剧化场景中间穿插直给的信息。前半段编织得还算细，后面就轰隆隆开始拉扯剧情到结尾了。所以，作为一部讲述“神话”、赞美虚构的电影，显然极度缺乏一种对叙事层次的自觉。当然，最受不了的还是这种“生活”是个筐啥都往里装的“释然”姿态（以至于复杂点的人物心理还真没有）。相比之下《爱很美味》确实是不悬浮且有叙事推进的……
猜猜在座的各位谁才是真正的文艺中年？想必巴黎人也自愧弗如。假如郭敬明真如其所愿地是个上海人会操一口流利的上海话，他会不会也像剥削费里尼一样剥削王家卫呢？（啊，原来人家早就开始剥削莎士比雅了啦！
有多好看呢？就是我封这是我2021最喜欢的华语电影！恨不得明年奥斯卡最佳外语片也能有这部一席之地的那种棒！终于有人能把中年人的爱情讲的这么平实有趣不猎奇还带着暖暖的浪漫！
挺好看的 展覽館裏面三人的那場戲的光影、配樂和臺詞都有點好玩
乐在其中的不知道是不是皈依小资自以为高人一等的人，评分能被抬到8.3说明打高分的人估摸着心里向往的也是这一阶层的纸醉金迷玩世不恭，仿佛和他们保持一致优越感就有了，看得我如坐针毡…
如果这电影是男导演拍的，还会有今天这个景象么？想来也挺刻板的。
完全是一部海派的伍迪艾伦小品，本影迷看得如痴如醉，对费里尼的致敬与调侃也于我心有戚戚焉。以及成年人之间哪里有所谓爱情，无非是在生活的烟火里点到为止，推拉进退，最后又自然而然。
在精神灵魂上结合了意大利式喜剧和老上海喜剧电影的气质，沪语方言和小资气息看起来是一口气，而且是流动的。这得益于剧本将重点放在了人物身上，研究他/她们的个性和关系网——以老白为中心，由他的表象发散到周围女性隐秘的内心，如何展现自我、表达自我，看他/她们的互动，看男女之间对“甜蜜的生活”&“爱情神话”有多大的差异。创作者知道如何轻盈、流畅地呈现这种无形的差异，沪语对白的灵气和知识分子式口吻当然也帮了大忙。btw：我喜欢创作者对费里尼电影的真诚敬意，光明正大地希望被大家看到自己的“致敬”，而非藏着掖着的欲盖弥彰。
优点很明显：时髦、舒服、立意好、三个女演员光彩熠熠；但缺点也很明显：故事和主题都太散，看到老乌死了以后就在想不会就这么结束了吧还什么都没讲呢，虽然最后一段落脚在爱情上，但总觉得太弱太淡了
调调，节奏，故事感和生活感都调和的恰到好处，多一分做作匠气，少一分俗套琐碎，难得的正是不知有意无意间呈现出的又拙又巧的lovely。给人带来的观影愉悦感在个人匮乏的词库中找不到合适的形容词，可能就是上海人说的又灵又嗲吧。
国内真难得呀，画展tag让我想到大冰两秒....dbq
奔着女性故事来的，而不是拼贴画！
后半段绕进索菲亚罗兰里去了 由轻反重 堪称败笔了 整体上借力上海腔调 看得到灵光 温柔 平和 和一点点神性 佳作！
邵导还是稳坐今年国产都市爱情第一的宝座了。
