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.
山田洋次把畢生對電影的愛拍進了每一個角色里。
除了说ゴウ出轨那段别的都好喜欢，从中间转场就开始想哭了，哭到电影结束。电影真好，我爱电影。（最后甚至有讨论疫情下的电影行业的社会问题？）
任何一个创作者都会有怀疑“我没有才华”的时刻，90岁山田洋次在封神后写了一个杰克苏的失败者故事，在供职一生的松竹摄影所百年之际，轻松化用迷影片羽，勇敢地用最幼稚的故事写尽了另一个时空里电影导演寻求电影之神庇佑时的懦弱、彷徨与侥幸、理想。这是一个老年者的绮梦、一个创作者的自嘲、一趟山田洋次的任性。导演与放映员都可以是他的化身，两位男主阐述理想和耄耋老矣的两段高光时刻宛如神灵附体，故事的确是破绽很多的套路，但脆弱的创作者啊，谁不需要这样烂俗的安慰呢？严厉的批评者们并没有进入山田洋次此时软弱而愉快的内心。#2021BJIFF#
呜呜呜，2021年度最爱的电影《电影之神》，山田洋次，一个无论拍多少部都值得期待的电影导演，非常纯真璞拙（给每一个爱电影的人的情信）。如果真的有神明的话，请无论如何捕捉到每一帧每一帧每一帧栖居的aura，摄影机运动的闪瞬间。好想在影院银幕前再看一遍TuT流眼泪TuT
不能更感同身受
冷酷的电影，冷静的喜剧，激动人心的故事
#BJIFF2021-10 既是为松竹百年献礼定制，又不改温情脉脉的家庭生活，山田洋次导演将电影同人生并轨，在时代演进的路径中望穿风雨，再以电影之神的名义为未来祈福。
看大家都给了人情三星，我就打个真实评分吧。从故事、情怀到「电影之神」的剧本都老掉牙，演员从银幕里走出来这个梗还能再烂一点么，就这样也被吹成“电影之神”？！山田洋次导演是真的老了吧，整部片都像是loserおじさん的喋喋絮语。比较惊艳的是昭和扮相的北川景子和永野芽郁，苏打发挥稳定，野田洋次郎我看到卡司才认出来、演技越来越无痕了（笑）。不过，投资大概不到位、昭和感完全没拍出来，现代的部分又太现代，很混搭，浪费了演员阵容。
8/10.本片是松竹电影公司成立100周年作品。电影之神是男主青年时期在松竹片场未完成的电影片名，老年的时候却在外孙的帮助下获得了最佳剧本奖。山田洋次导演以90岁的高龄完成了本片的编导工作，影片以质朴的风格给电影无尽的尊重和热爱，借此献给电影工作者，影迷和电影本身。最后实现影片与影迷互动的那一幕很让我感动，能死在影院里也许也是老导演的愿望吧。山田洋次导演再次在影片里致敬东京物语，北川景子扮演的桂圆子是不是指的是原节子？老导演年轻的时候在松竹片场也许真的和原节子关系很好呢。
百年松竹何以屹立不倒？正如自顾自降落的太阳，奔腾不息的白色浪潮，一个个导演组下养活着千千万万的成员。山田监督作为小津忠实拥趸甚至不惜部分完美复刻《东京物语》，也夹杂着太多年轻时的意气风发与无奈抱憾。电影固然为宏大事物之贯彻始终，一个小家庭还是格局太小，总算涉及到疫情还是一笔带过，实在是遗憾。
☆：3- 你看松竹这艘大船它又平又稳（唯一喜欢的地方是向mini theater文化致意）
2021北影节充满仪式感的结束。电影之神保佑导演，明年再见！
神奇的剧情 一种过去岁月的步伐 咩和景子也太漂亮了 男主从一个有梦想的新导演，变成一个爱赌马和赌博的潦倒老人
要不是最后那点连两星都不想给吧？我是看够了这种老渣男+深情妻子的组合了。。。
因为厌恶自己喜欢她，只想撮合他和她；当你们经历着爱情风雨，工具人悄悄实现了自己梦想；电影里的幸福结局往往是现实中的悲剧开始，相片里美好笑容的小女子去了哪里；老头一瞌睡，走入《开罗紫玫瑰》；大银幕看着真煽情哈
熱淚盈眶。懷念在美國和日本時去的那些art house cinema。
3.5吧。另一個版本的《一秒鐘》，山田洋次對小津原節子是真愛。合著男主劇本這不就是《開羅紫玫瑰》嘛，放當下時空還得獎了，我一直以為是外孫編出來騙他的...情節雖然爛俗,但是真正的電影之神不就是多層銀幕後面，九十歲還在拍片的導演自己麼？
打舅演日剧一直还不错，但是电影主演列表里有菅田将晖的话，是可以避雷的程度。
3.5；再次感叹基顿的《福尔摩斯二世》养活多少作品，打破银幕边界与现实的联动真乃所有影迷的梦想了，以及“看电影看到死”宛如就是费里尼《小丑》结尾的处理，山田洋次将各种迷影梗和经典致敬糅合在一起（依旧是熟悉的配方），且加进新冠时事元素+两段跨越几十年的故事拼接，未免要素过多；然而“电影让我们与冷酷世界保持平行”的概念太戳人了，人生再灰暗不能没有电影。
各种违和感...某种意义而言，这部松竹100年纪念作品如实反映了如今“松竹”的XX
