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.
3.5吧，很喜欢开头结尾的音乐。将女性在作为子女的母亲和个人角色之间产生的矛盾透过一个中年和一个年轻妈妈展开来讲。做自己想做的，可能意味着要成为一个自私的妈妈。Nina的家族对女主充满敌意，时不时还增添了点恐怖片的气氛。哦对 威尔这个角色存在的意义是？
几处略微重点刻画的女性的对视，都….，那种“我有些事想告诉你”的神情，在眼白的反光中闪耀，耀目到观众有点坐立不安….但剧作上我还有许多地方未想明白….
天。。恐怖极了。。我能说这片是反女性主义乌托邦吗？科尔曼又贡献了锋利表演。。从第一段让座对话中就知道这个女的搞不好了。一位正在经历自我凌迟的高压知识分子女性形象。恐怖之处在于从女性主义角度配备了一个陌生富人家族赤裸裸的集体凝视，以及自己利用才貌走过捷径的良心折磨，在加上血缘母女关系永久但日常的羁绊。几处矛盾释放的表达方式也很有张力，小情绪一波三折，真的像个小刀在不停的割，太像个女人了。电影院那场，洋娃娃坦白局那场，最后选的是针！⭐回忆杀颇有女版《野草莓》的风格。
玛吉拿到了顶配埃莱娜的剧本和顶配奥利维亚的演出，但真的没用好，故事处理太混乱了，很可惜。
是近年恐育片里我比较喜欢的。可能是因为插叙的关系。
正如电影里所说，作为妈妈的过程是“unnatural”的，尤其当你是个natural person，自我和母性的拉扯就会显示出不被他人所理解的异常。然而你知道，那不过是寻常，是无数女性经历过或正在经历的寻常。
我还是小朋友时就能relate，但不喜欢频繁闪回和导演老公…
配乐好喜欢啊，呜呜呜。对母亲这个身份的刻画非常好，i'm hurt kiss me mom我爆哭。但是对女儿的描写又显得不足，尤其是对Elena这个角色，有点不适
导：4/内：2.5 不喜欢一切建立在不平等关系上的自我救赎
when the source material is good, it does not take much to bring it out and make a decent film. 配乐师应该加鸡腿
Colman真的太强了，穿插着回忆的自说自话，在没有安全感的生活里飘荡，神游的状态倒是像极了独自在海边的夜晚
不知道为什么，看到 “im a selfish mother”还是哭了出来
3.5需要看到更多从女性视角展开的真实的处境 而非男性视角下的幻想的投射的作品 . 但作为电影 感觉完成度不高.
安娜卡列尼娜和廊桥遗梦哪种选择也满足不了觉醒的当代女性了，得来回来去折腾两遍然后再condescending地教育别人才算满足，啥都占全了，简直是蛋疼。
电影片名和叙事结构有意“误导”观众，它让影片呈现一个母亲因为自己的失误而导致孩子走失或死亡后无比自责后的救赎之路，而且在海滩上镜头又极其不安地“窥视”着一大家“坏人”，感觉随时可能会制造一场“血光之灾”，然而真相浮出水面后，就让人觉得前面的铺垫有虚张声势之嫌。
人生好难，出轨、离开儿女感觉不错，但社会建构的那些东西终究让你回来。
你看那些个男的 生个孩子都是给自己媳妇生的咋的
「我在寫到最後才想到偷娃娃的行為，還有布娃娃被偷了的女童，女童的母親對於勒達產生的吸引力，這些都是靈光一閃，即興產生的。這兩個元素——母女關係，還有一段剛剛產生的友情的陰暗背景——會讓我進一步探索女性之間的複雜關係。⋯⋯假如勒達沒法釐清她的行為——她的內心會越來越凌亂，她作為一個成人，偷了一個女童的布娃娃——我寫作時，也會和她一起淪陷，我沒法像解救黛莉亞、奧爾加那樣，把自己和她從旋渦里解救出來。」沿著《碎片》裡的蛛絲馬跡走入勒達的世界，題為暗處的女兒，但真正需要被看見的，恰是明處的母親。瞥見了母職的枷鎖，也瞥見她的逃脫。在矛盾與混亂中的欲言又止，藏在眼淚裡的甘苦交織，像一場救贖一樣打動著我。
细腻，尤其是科尔曼表演。现实与回忆相互交错，女性在家庭与追求的困境，不是每个女人都适合做母亲，今日恐婚恐育。作为处女作，Maggie完成得很好了，片头片尾配乐蛮好听的
但不管怎样，孩子是无辜的，大可不必生孩子。剧本很好。
