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.
阿三又一次拍出了我们拍不了也拍不出的电影，如无意外，应该可以提前预订个人年度观影十佳了。
热评第一有点意思哈哈哈哈。可是哦问题大家都知道又有几人愿意又有能力改变呢？大概最终是视而不见见怪不怪了吧。
又是国内没法立项，立项也没人投资，投资也没法拍完，拍完也没法过审的电影。国内编剧老是抱怨悬疑剧太难拍，来看看人家怎么先扬后抑，反转再反转的。说说剧情吧，终于有部电影触及印度社会的根源问题：种姓制度。这种与社会脱节落后的种族制度，才是造成印度各种社会恶象的根源。希望这部电影带来的些许影响，真的是可以推动历史的车轮再往前行进少许，而不是像电影内容一样，被权力裹挟着的舆论，变成统治的工具，风口浪尖潮起潮落，都只是掌权者的余兴节目。总的来说，故事是真的好，但是煽情方面还是差了点，可能和叙事结构也有关系，五星没问题，瑕不掩瑜。
全程无尿点，虽然很早已经大概猜出了故事的脉络，但是依然会让观众充满期待下一个反转的优质电影。电影本身围绕“权利”探讨了很深刻的社会问题，让观众思考：什么是公平？社会是否有绝对公平？什么是真相？是谁带给了我们真相？我们该相信什么？我们又该相信谁？媒体是什么？他们代表谁？谁又可以代表弱势群体？ 电影想表达的内容太丰富了，所幸的是，通过了一个系列性有牵绊的故事，导演和全体工作者让观者感受到了他们想表达的，并且深思出电影外更丰富的东西。很热血沸腾的电影，就像其他观众说的，印度电影在批判现实方面，已经有了韩国电影那味儿了，不管现实究竟是不是黑的，但总还有人能够有公开的渠道去表达出阳光且正义的看法，是令人感动的。
前期节奏有点缓慢 后半渐入佳境 法庭的反转戏设定的既合理又有冲击性 剧本当属扎实 然而在法庭戏过后对于律师身份的补完却显得画蛇添足 仿佛导演觉得不是为了复仇没点私人理由就不能存在纯粹为了正义勇于对抗体制的勇者吗 比较遗憾的是电影最后沦为对当权者的抨击 而没有驻留在揭露并讽刺体制和社会现象的更高立意上 只能算是剧情尚可但内涵不足的作品吧
让故事有些悬浮，
以戏论戏，并没有拍得很好。后面的连串反转，也过于表面化。至于高分，不言而喻了。
一万六的Jimmy Choo亦真亦假，中年人的爱情要素描心动更要目的地无差；
这电影最后变成了政治家们的仇斗就略low了。普通人=工具，码的，他们不仅要利用我们，还得拍成电影来羞辱我们普通人。
我觉得电影可以改名为:上海中年人的爱情故事，节奏把握的不好，人物也不够丰满，也无法共情，几处笑点设计的就像导演拿着痒痒挠挠你咯吱窝一样
一个好剧本让徐峥不再演颓废中年，倪虹洁不再演妈，宁理不再演杀手，一群老戏骨轻松愉悦的氛围下拍了一个好电影
别人有改变郭嘉的电影。
总体还行，看完感觉看了个开头的意思，8.6有些过了
终于不用再看#爱而不得#私定终身#抓小三#守活寡#生是你的人死是你的鬼#这种老掉牙的破烂爱情片了，爱情的理想形态难道不是这种开放式的多人家庭吗？聚是一团火，散是满天星，肉体开不开放咱另说，先把精神打开，酒杯碰起来，心里话唠起来！
影片想要表达的东西很多，强奸、种姓制度、权力政治、官僚贪腐、高校压榨、舆论操纵……关键是这样多元深刻的主题能够被编剧巧妙地用故事串联起来，虽复杂却不至于强硬。当然更佩服的还是印度人民如何将片子搬上大银幕。三层反转，有了法律意识我就意识到了结局肯定有反转。
7.5
今年的印度高分电影好多。
皮鞋匠最懂女人心，所以选择单身；
讲自己“不过是犯了全世界男人都会犯的错”的蓓蓓，称自己“老公失踪，有钱有闲，状态最好”的格洛瑞亚，把自己两万块的Jimmy choo说成是两百块只为让男主不要过于愧疚的李小姐，三个女人的一台戏足够精彩。女性即使年轻不再也依旧可以浪荡潇洒，魅力四射，以自己的方式谱写自己的爱情神话。
一群成熟的中年人在上海说着abc，保持体面又复杂的生活状态，有着精致冷清又不饶人的上海味道。也不知道现在评论为什么刷过去，大体都是好评，疑惑于为啥自己看得云里雾里，我只觉这部电影讲了一堆废话，没什么内涵。能感觉到导演想表达的态度，可这部电影拍得太浅显，令人看完以后只觉乏味无聊。有时候玩艺术，一旦玩得看起来很高级、故弄玄虚，往往就是最令人反感的样子。一群小资中年人端着过来人的姿态，叉着手吹牛皮。
