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.
重点是事件驱动而抛弃时间上的连贯动感，以一粒粒个体的事件折射这个群体生存状态，将角色置于广角大背景下，无视叙事连贯使得感受更加流动，其实还蛮不喜欢这片的配乐，似乎增加了一丝不真实感，把我从这个故事里更加抽离出来无法浸入
整个故事讲得很节制，镜头表达和主角主观的距离感刚刚好，认识这种真实事件对个人生活也有警醒作用
赵婷导演非常稳啊，完成度相当高，影像很扎实。这电影手法现代，也很美国。前半段很碎的剪辑，节奏拉快，夹杂着动人心魄的自然长镜头，能看到一些泰伦斯马力克，后半段慢下来，其实总体社会议题谈的不多，更多还是对人精神、情感层面的探讨和挖掘，诸如生活的意义，人生选择（人是本性和环境的混合产物，环境、人生际遇发生骤变，有人回避，有人妥协，有人直面，有人遵从本心），何处才是我们真正的归宿。科恩嫂表演绝对一流。配乐确实铺的略满，基调上苍凉感可能不够。看好夺奥斯卡BP或directing ！
人有多种活法，选择自己喜欢的方式就好。别人能不能理解你的孤独，不重要。
都市生活对空间占有与不确定性的驱赶不可避免，乡土游牧却又饱含自然性风险。似乎“房车”在二者间做着一种温和的调停：给你空间，给你流动。
进可勇闯天涯，退可壁炉开趴，还是北美大平原的水土养人啊。
被悲伤孤独抽离后的私人救赎之旅。沿路的同类，兀自的山峦，远方的冷空气。回忆也许美，可是正在飞走对不对。
正如片中的游牧群体，忙忙碌碌一生，没能够安享晚年，回归常态也不见得是天伦之“乐”。《无依之地》被赋予了我们常说的诗意。弗恩并非无家可归，而是心无所属，其意义在于与人生伴侣的连接，带着牵挂，看淡。★★★★/8.6/*2
孤独是人生的底色。仍然憧憬那种长途又长时的公路旅行，尽管我知道现在的自己还不够勇敢。
它那炳耀金颜蒙上阴翳
Dedicated to the one who had to depart，see you down the road. 配乐真是神来之笔。
多一颗星给导演赵婷。你为无数女性展现了更宽阔的视野和生活的可能。
看到中间突然明白了，赵婷对大众关注的主题，例如中西部的衰落、资本化的工业、愈来愈分化的贫富差距等避之不谈，是因为这本就是一部很直白的情绪电影，可能同样经历了一地鸡毛般的生活，对弗恩这种选择逃避社交的孤独感尤为感同身受，即便她说过上路是为了铭记死去的丈夫，可行为本身就是在逃避，跟海边的曼彻斯特那种自我惩罚不同，弗恩一边在路上一边享受着自我感动，Dave的儿子说了解一个城市最好的办法就是匿名戒酒会，弗恩的所作不也是一场无止境的互助会吗
Fern驶过寂寥无依的大地，白雪覆盖的公路；注视过汹涌澎湃的大海，炽热的福玻斯神光。你以为她是自由潇洒才总在路上，但失去所爱的她悲不自胜，茕茕孑立。这片孤独的大地啊，有着一样孤独的人群和孤独的灯；孤独的房车里，困扰着成百上千孤独的灵魂。
失业了怎么办？失去家庭了怎么办？还未老焦虑今后的人生怎么办？观影感受情绪起伏：担忧-暖意-悲哀-释然，资本与全球化带来的难题不是一个国家的问题，现实很裸露很残酷，大环境扑来了，能怎么办，只能靠人自我的强大生存意识继续活下去。I‘m just houseless，not homeless. 心即家，家在心，如果守不住房子，那么守住家，踏路而上，直至生命最后一刻。致渺小而伟大的自己。
比起Eliza Hittman更加自然主义，或许deep focus+wide scale才是自然主义电影的最佳选择！前面的配乐有点索然无味，只有最后几次主题性音乐是打动我的，因为如同赵婷以往的叙事风格一样——最后我们才明白人物的困境从何而来，而这段旅行究竟在解决什么——在故事结尾那克制涌动的情绪才尽显波浪。比骑士更弱情节，也更深沉，从关乎小我上升到大生命之情怀，如何面对孤独，死亡，路上的人和将行的路，以及保有那份如美国拓荒者一样的勇敢。
我承认我欣赏水平底，打我看电影起就对这种类型的电影接受不能。
資本主義社會現實殘酷的一面考之哀歌（一種大概的傳統）。而共產主義社會連歷史都不讓拍，更不用說現實了。是的，就是這個路數，趙婷的好萊塢科幻動作大片已經安排上了哈哈哈哈
画面好美，羡慕这些行走在路上人们对人生看得很通透的想法。如果这部电影得奥斯卡，应该是最有诗意的一部吧……
I'm not homeless,I'm just houseless.
