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.
巴登很好，本片也可以看，但我真没什么想说的——把员工当私人奴隶？把实习生当性资源？对老婆不忠？对维权下属用尽毒手？欺骗、控制、企业德不配位？西班牙资本家真是堕落。是的，但你回来多搜点新闻多看两眼报纸，去仲裁走一圈，你会发现巴登这老板居然还算不错的。
6.9分。有陀螺的美学打底让整部电影看起来稍微高级了一点，剧情从团长介绍开始大体就能猜出个八九不离十来。整体过下来各方面挺单薄，Key Point也来得很是生硬（我肯定不会自信到把钱存到一个我在酒会上认识没两天的人）。浪费了威廉·达福和托尼·科莱特，即使是凯特·布兰切特也就是个危险的美人。没什么二次咀嚼的欲望。
玩弄人心的把戏终将被戳破
片子一般，但非常奇妙的是，茉莉给我一种“世另我”的感觉。敢在马戏团表演闪电穿身，在遇到男主时毅然私奔，在男主逐渐沉迷梦魇时能看清真相，但在决定离开时又无法离开，脑子里有自己的一套逻辑，却总是被他人轻易粉碎。我猜她肯定是水瓶座，介于坚强、迷惘、聪明、痴傻之间的混乱体。
原版没看过。属于蛇头虎尾，前半段一般般，有点拖沓，虽然很喜欢马戏团这个设置，后半段越来越好，结尾还是精彩的，也有陀螺的审美趣味在里面，但是惊喜不足，时长也有点太长了…
完全搞不明白它是怎么打败《倒数时刻》的。陀螺舍弃了故事将重心放在了艺术上，两个半小时废话太多，又是铺垫又是悬念的，挖了一个又一个坑然后告诉你这是个反诈宣传片。看不懂，也不震撼。
充满震慑力的主线也好，丛生而相互关联的支线也好，都非常适合陀螺按自己的风格发挥。
我以为最后那个老工人会用电钻击穿老板的头😢
为导演对氛围的把握加一星，服化道、音乐、年代感一流，演员选角加分、表演不功不过，情节只改了细枝末节。原作是一个可能因酗酒导致精神错乱的作者写的纯意识流小说，是比较通俗的黑色故事，类似骗子害人害己、苦果自尝云云，但里面没有赢家。电影不足之处在于对斯坦的过去省略太多，以至他的人物性格未能建立起来。他不是那种无所畏惧的恶棍，却在某种因素的驱使下恶贯满盈，但他又有着某一类聪明人那种天真——这是他爱上心理医生并最终被她欺骗的原因，不过毁掉他的还是他自己。这种程度的黑暗多一分像戏剧、少一分又不到位，不偏不倚到让人怀疑这是否就是命运真正的模样。话说回来，抛开二位我钟爱的主角不谈，精致的服化道、克制的对白、老派的转场、舞台剧般贴近和膨胀的氛围...这就是我最爱的黑色电影标配，其余通通可以不计较。
我觉得新版有点被贬得太狠 我觉得改编很好 真实书写出了人生的宿命感
真的像是一个豆友说的那样，“既好看又难看”。典型的故事为导演风格服务。俗套的故事，乏味的台词，就连各个大咖的表演也都那么用力又空洞（凯特的唯一高光就是“I’ll live”，麻辣literally又演了一次小白兔，托尼科莱特是比较喜欢的）。小镇的塔罗牌、野人尚且吸睛，后面变成福尔摩斯式的读心术真的就没啥意思，但凡有个心理师或者富豪一样off the book的客户，立马露馅。还有就是电影太长太长了，150分钟太难熬。
Mister, I was born for it.
这不就是资本主义工厂的“教父”吗？结尾又讽刺又真实。看哈维尔·巴登演“好”老板还蛮不习惯的，总感觉下一秒他就会拿气枪爆人脑袋...
前半段实在太过冗长了，以至于煎熬了一半的时间，剧情紧凑起来突然觉得轻快了。
看到中途还以为它后面能带来些观众想不到的事情。只可惜只是逐渐无聊而已。Cooper有点接不住zeena和魔王的戏。
然而反观其内容本身，又一定程度上为其概念化、系统化的主题结构所束缚，其体量本身不足以承载如此繁杂的人物象征，亦难以在兼顾其系统的同时维持戏剧现实的节奏，故而在一些段落（由以高潮戏为甚）的处理上略显琐碎，繁杂，反而缺失了力量。
黑到底，嘲笑到底，虚伪到底，把伪善的人和纯良的人全部讽刺了一遍。表面清清白白良好模范企业家，高贵邀请函随手送人。你把我当兄弟，我当成你女婿。《同学麦娜丝》丧礼变选举会，后有丧礼变员工鼓励大会。纯良的混混无辜惨死，产品的检验红毯走秀。博弈的资本是我有钱的爹，有钱能双手遮天，没钱就只能充当儿子认人做爹啦。JB演活了这个虚伪，油腻的形象，赋予了他一丝无奈幽默，明明很讨厌这个角色，但就是恨不起来。一直在想中国翻拍会不会很适合，不会的，压根不存在的～
4.5，没看过原作，2.30小时不觉得长，意犹未尽。
谎言是走向地狱的捷径，贪欲是走向地狱的通行证～
这个故事真的震撼我，能写出这个剧本的编剧简直不要太牛逼，后来才发现这是翻拍
