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.
脑洞大开的视觉表达却掩盖不了编剧的小眼眶子。
第一次去税务局时杨紫琼船长就在怀疑瘦版成龙可能要把事情搞糟，然后第二次洗衣店爆发后也在这么想，结果并没有。女儿该怎么样还是怎么样，必须let her go才能成就对方。
在天马行空的想象和炫目的剪辑包装下，东亚家庭内核把握得很精准，为杨紫琼开心。爸爸那句“如果有来生，我还是会选择跟你一起，报税、开洗衣店”很戳泪点，早期华人赴美做的也就是洗衣工这些劳力工种，涵盖华裔三代人（父亲、夫妻、女儿）面貌的全宇宙。
不能说非常喜欢，但主创人员请受我一拜orz，结构严谨，要素齐全，面面俱到，左右逢源，致敬各种电影，穿插各种梗，还很疯狂不算油腻。每一句鸡汤后面都还能给出一个具体的操作。这一切都是怎么做到的？最难的是一开始的部分，有点无聊，之后渐入佳境，把女儿的怨念转向外公的控制，一个老套的核心故事，但能装进这种新瓶子里我是服气的。。。
有点东亚版Ricky&morty的感觉，导演脑洞真大啊从瑞士军刀男开始我就好喜欢哦哈哈哈哈！内容过载，塞满彩蛋，内核不算新颖但表现力太棒，致敬太空漫游那段笑喷，总体来说瑕不掩瑜，太多闪闪发光的桥段啦，两块石头的无声plot应该看哭了大部分人吧，Nothing Matters在我心中变成跟Don't Panic这句话一样重要的存在了
能把一个简单的家庭伦理问题拍成这样我真的respect🙏大震撼
所以母上突然理解了她
疯狂拼贴的极多主义炒杂碎美学，《罗拉快跑》式的因果链条、《云图》式的命运轮回、《超体》式的根茎链接、王家卫式的抽帧、周星驰式的无厘头、成龙式的功夫喜剧，各式元素信手拈来，游走在美式华裔家庭片、超级英雄电影、心智游戏电影与B级片的边界地带，或许诡异的观感正来源于在主流与独立的协商空间中不同美学与诉求的碰撞。部分桥段流于说教，采用抽象的爱作为一切问题的象征性解药，通过对于哲学理论似是而非的征用使观众获得一种参与“哲学思辨”的商品化经验，然而在其惊人的扁平性中却也生成一种与《安妮特》《方形》等作品相切近的吊诡的审美体验。另一遗憾是多元宇宙的不同分身基本依旧按照职业身份或身体机能亦即使用价值加以划分，我们即便能够想象有机物从未生成的宇宙却仍然无法想象一个社会层面alternative的宇宙。
唤起了一种难以言说的尴尬，有不少人说这是合家欢电影，这种家庭真的存在吗？就像不少人相信消除代沟的方式将年轻文化普及给落伍世代，但那是不可能的，代沟真实存在，承认它，然后“老死不相往来”最好，就像一方面我会对和长辈一起看动画（日本限定）感到如坐针毡，另一方面会想她们并不需要这些花里胡哨的东西，真不想看什么老脸羞红。所谓年轻文化，一大部分从未经深思的消费主义出发，家庭已经远远超出它的应用边界，想用多元宇宙解决问题其实就是逃避现实，因真正的亚文化不是带来和平，而是叫地上起刀兵。
泪流满面地看完了，想起已经很久没有联系的我妈。我们大约定格在了一个石头滚下山崖的那一刻，另一个石头选择没有去追，挺好的。
修行路上走火入魔的阿修罗，拉着麻麻也要一起开神通，打算一起坠入无尽的虚无。麻麻入修罗道之际，悟出即使无所不在无所不知无尽虚无，也要心怀一念——对待众生平等的爱。麻麻立地成佛，并且喊着“我不入地狱，谁入地狱”的口号将宝宝拉出修罗地狱。影片大道至简的通过佛教故事讲诉老百姓自己的故事💕
看不出來有什麼必要一定要在外公面前出櫃，你不希望原生家庭用它對世界的理解綁架你，那麼你為什麼需要它對你的認可？這很奇怪。你又不是鈔票，你的價值，不因你是否向所有人證明而存在。F**K away the 大家長。
比两位导演的前作《瑞士军刀男》要强，但还是有开了脑洞不知道该怎么收的问题，看到第三幕就感觉累了，根本不关心母女如何和解，就希望赶紧结束。
这两天看到分数瞬降还有点担心。看完以后只想说导演太有才了！有个评论说得好，“这是想象力的胜利”。个人感觉喜剧效果非常美国化，不认为这是一代移民会欣赏的片子，中国元素就像是这里面中英夹杂的对话，非常表面化，内核还是美国文化。这个片子和《沙丘》应该是这几年看过的电影里的top two吧！有点感慨，我们忙着抗疫，人家不戴口罩“冒着生命危险”拍出了这么优秀的作品！
好像也不是，是人生和宇宙一样有无数种可能可无尽的可能都没有意义。一切都没有意义。
太失望了，还以为能看一个脑洞飚飞的爽片，结果被掰着下巴猛灌一碗“在宇宙中心呼唤爱”的鸡汤。用多重宇宙搭了一个看起来绚丽实则不堪一碰的花架子，试图掩盖其土到极致令人作呕的精神内核，看他们在舞台上强行演一出“我们一家多有爱”的戏码，真是让作为观众的我尬得坐立不安。求求你们，有精彩的人生就去过吧，别再“为了你我愿意报税了”。
非常喜欢女儿的演员，特别贴合角色
明明确实没什么意义。
妈都figured her shit out了却还是选择be here with me，变成石头也要追我下地狱，这不是the ultimate save to everything，这是exactly逼疯我的原因
6.看的全程都是：“这TM怎么想出来的”“这TM怎么拍出来的”“这TM怎么画分镜”。
