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.
非常动人。作为一个从高中时代就开始对“大龄剩女”主题电影心有戚戚的三十岁女子，能感受到“nancy”对于性、对于自身欲望的谨慎、渴慕、敬畏、紧张，也能感受到她身上好为人师的强势、打破砂锅问到底的"执着"、看似维持礼貌体面但其实并不关心他人感受的自我中心。有时候会想，她都五六十了，还没有过高潮，这个人设是不是太夸张，其实并不，每个人都是某种夸张的人。。。其实精神内核非常朴实，朴实得不像是电影节电影，无非不就是“悦纳自我”的人本主义，但这个故事本身非常动人。
节奏掌握得真好，喜剧和正剧之间的切换时机都恰到好处。对话也写得超棒，触到痛处的地方戳两下收一下，绕出去一圈再突然回来戳一下。短小精悍的100分钟，有笑有泪有思考，一切都刚刚好。
有点失望，以为是全程唱歌，脍炙人口那种，结果更像是话剧，舞台布置别说和被大家说穷的《摇滚红与黑》比了，疯提尔的《狗镇》都可以吊打的水平，总之属于观看失望和实际间的落差太大
1st July 2022。首先要表揚一下只靠幾乎對話表情能撐起整個劇本和故事的兩位角色的演技！其次 作為一個女性觀影 看完之後覺得有點什麼但仔細想要說點什麼 卻啞口無言 想作為自己劇本的主角恍然大悟自己根本沒有劇本好像放在每個人的故事中的npc的一生 遇到這麼一次冒險（有待考究這個冒險的定義）是一次「神秘的禮物」賦予的感動。
一切皆为一流！（我他妈绝对手贱点了片名下面的“近期冷门佳片排行榜”！）
看不下去，忍受不了古典音乐舞台剧的调调，墨迹造作看着舞台表演的脱离现实的夸张矫情感到恶心，看了三十多分钟看不下去了，然后有600多个自觉高级的小资在哪里跪拜鼓吹附庸风雅中获得自己正当时，自己存在于高雅的这个圈子里，获得有知识有想象的文化归属地位，有品位的高等人的自我确认标签，无异于圈内自嗨，让人感到那种中世纪贵族故作风雅的那种恶心感。
四星给美丽童话，多一星是给共情。看到女主仿佛看到亲密关系中的自己：十分爱judge别人，一紧张反而变得更加硬邦邦，话痨又很强装理性……理性害我！这个角色还必须爱玛来演，她那种聪明劲儿加重了这种对于自己性魅力的自卑，缺一不可。最后一脱真的震撼，面对不再美丽的肉体而不judge自己，真的需要莫大勇气
四星半。片子会带给不同人不同的解读，可以有反对对性工作者遭遇的美化，可以有反对支持性服务合法化的观点，也可以看到，正是基于片中女主自我探索的过程，才无法让角色性别互换，恰恰是因为这种性别安排，更巧妙的展现了女性的困境，性只是表象，枷锁的束缚与解除才是内核。艾玛汤普森演技太棒了。
西方敏感题材，个人实在无法一样地共情，只能说确实月圆，或许上海能做的更好，西安肯定不行。
让自己愉悦是一件很酷的事情。
一輩子有好多束縛，掙脫桎梏真的很難。看完覺得很感動，Emma和這個男生的化學反應出奇的不錯。｜和K，她說看完她甚至覺得性工作者真的應該合法化。我說，不，這只是電影，所以很理想很美好。真實的大環境下，合法化只會進一步加深對女性的剝削。
天降圣鸭！衰老不是最可怕的，最可怕的是老了没钱请鸭，所以，女人，趁着年轻多多挣钱吧。
至暗时刻下人们自发的互助太感人了，舞台装置只有桌子椅子和一个旋转的地板，演员们一人饰多角，更重要的是作为音乐剧每一段旋律都很好听，比汉密尔顿精彩太多，享受了一场淋漓尽致的演出
此刻需要非常律师禹英禑的同款表情“wow~ ⊙o⊙”哈哈哈哈，各行各业都有专业的敬业的人才啊，年轻的肉体确实很好看，但摆脱body shame才是关键
Oh god hope I will be rich...
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
I am an islander 来自陌生人的善意是这个世界的基石～女机长的独唱～旅途相遇的中年情侣的对唱等几首令人印象深刻
男人再帅也是前戏，高潮还是得DIY，这种灵肉合一的短暂共生关系，可遇不可求啊
四星给演员，这么简单的场地全靠演技撑起来了
So wonderful, so so wonderful!
