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.
整体有德.帕尔玛老式惊悚片的质感，但叙事大大的不如老帕。这故事架构本来可以，但发展方向完全跑偏了，真相来的太早，本来有点意思的悬念一碰即破，叙事重心完全放在躲避和反杀上就没意思了。索德伯格这导演一向非我所喜，叙事水平一般，可能是他拍片时想法太多，想展现自己大于讲故事，有些抓不住主次，抓不住观众。其实他的电影没少看，喜欢的也就一部《永不妥协》 而已。
Aaron Sorkin never disappoints...But Nicole's face...
5分钟弃，这片子不但弱智，最让人讨厌的是废镜头太他妈多了。
这次的剧本有点离谱了，完全看不清索金的侧重点是什么，在最后的高潮戏中，究竟是身份问题还是婚姻问题占据主导，索金显然困于电车问题而导致两者皆抓。并且，电影虽然以一周工作时间展开，但是它顾及的方方面面太多太多，不加解释的插叙与时间线的断裂，老人们坐在那里侃侃而谈的预告转场也是毫无必要。
戏中戏。戏外正剧，戏中喜剧，考验演技。但是为什么每一个人说台词的时候都像是机关枪一样快，都赶着去投胎吗？
3.5 大数据裸奔&新冠&社交焦虑。新媒体时代的《放大》，可惜各方面点到即止，但是本就是爽片，最后的气钉枪够了。第一次出门时的不平稳构图、俯拍、声音的处理真是动了一些小聪明。类型片请不要再超过120min了…>_<…我真的好想要她那个键盘啊，高在的键盘也是这样的，感觉真的巨好用…跟女主的家居环境相比，我就不是现代人啊(o^^o)
最后的高潮其实蛮有趣的 敢爱敢恨的女人无论在什么时候都能做出不同寻常的选择 nicole的演技的真的没得说 男主和jk那些人感觉没什么可发挥的 前面真的铺垫太久 但是6.几分有点太低了
要耐心看到后半段，前面部分太多线头了，让人觉得混乱又理不清，但到后面会发现这一切混乱都指向一个聪明又美丽但却蒙蔽的女人。妮可基德曼太棒了，她完美塑造了这个女人，一个极力想要相信谎言，把所有焦虑投射给除了自己丈夫之外的周围所有人的女人。可以说妮可的演技拯救了这部电影。
我好喜欢最后十分钟（好吧，我承认我就是吃艾伦索金的套路），人物传记+美国当代各个领域的历史+多线叙事+媒体关注+公关危机，这次是对女性人物的关照，事业、婚姻与自我的探索。男女主的情感线真的很出彩，势均力敌的爱情、互帮互助的事业搭档，最终破灭于一张沾有别人口红印的手帕。当一桩婚姻需要被拯救的时候，大概率都会失败的吧。
前面挺有意思，有点想希区柯克 电话那个电影，她为别人求救未果，就让人联想后面她自己会不会遇到危险。然而到了后面……what the what ? 结论：人工智能可以的，是人不行……好吧。
给最后的两块手帕加一星吧唉，艾伦索金干啥玩意儿呢最近。妮可啊你脸上要是不打那么多东西还能再拿几个小金人你直道不
Nicole最后那里的失神很妙。影片整体时间线有点混乱，把过去和现在能区别得更明显点儿就好了。
成本非常低，情节十分简单。既不流畅，又不紧张。十分钟的短片足够了！很难理解这么大牌的导演，拍这么小的题材。这种简单剧本给新手练手就好。
某些方面和《尼姆岛》异曲同工，Purell洗手液瞩目，大概是社恐标签吧。
理想主义的女人和他擅长危机公关的老公鸡糟的一周 就挺无聊的
电影本身失望大过于期望，太多的闪回，太多记传片通病，让人对鲍尔的感同身受大减。加一星给妮可，每一帧都是戏，终于让我知道了她不仅是位传奇的明星，更是位传奇的演员。
covid-19、Metoo、大数据、《后窗》的大背景杂糅+女性反杀主线。给死宅的启示或许有：勤运动多锻炼，要当技术宅，改用智能家居。
被妮可这个人物打动了，姐姐棒棒，还是4星吧。一个在肥皂剧里面演傻blondie的她其实是这个世界上最有独立意识的女人。她一幕又一幕地磨剧集，果然认真是最动人的。还有承认自己是communist，她一次又一次证明自己不是dummy。心碎的是为了观众一群最优秀的女性不得不掩盖自己的才华，她们仨并排坐的时候，有心痛到。但总的来说我对这个电视的韶华时代couldnt care less. 三段插叙的结构还是好玩，但太多内部梗了，仿佛在看60年代的snl，我猜可能就是要做一个对比：电视剧里的silly jokes 和拍剧时的辛辣讽刺。问题是，我都get不到，得拍给老美国电视迷才懂吧。（补充：那是一个大演员时代，但也看出男的傻子在行业里的统治地位，事实证明女的也有（更有）喜剧才华
作为上世纪就出道的60后导演，却有股年轻导演的冲劲。索德伯格属于少数的既能保持别具一格的作风，还能不断尝试自己喜欢的想法。这回是希区柯克穿越到现在拍了一部《新后窗》。★★★☆/7.4
Nicole最后那里的失神很妙。影片整体时间线有点混乱，把过去和现在能区别得更明显点儿就好了。
