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.
人不必相同地活着，也不必活当下。人可以只活在对过去的追思中与对未来重逢的期盼里，活在不得不将自己流放的路上。这种流动感，是他们灌注生命的方式，是他们得以喘息的通道。
代替你的归宿
科恩嫂的凸嘴有一种傲气和韧劲，搭配本片茫茫无际的荒野，让人觉得这个故事是挺立的，不会倒下的。
代替你的归宿
悲伤是爱在延续，哪天你不再痛苦了，爱也就消失了…………这片和《旺达幻视》的主题竟如此重合，女主四处飘荡，在她内心又何尝不是一次魔幻之旅………所以导演被选中去拍了《永恒族》？
写到这里，我蓦地想到《兰亭集序》中一段话，虽意不相通，然情可共，附于此：“向之所欣，俯仰之间，已为陈迹，犹不能不以之兴怀，况修短随化，终期于尽！”
大家都是好人，都是假穷人。有车，有工作，生病了可以去医院，车坏人有人借钱修车，想回家有1000平米大房子等着。这叫穷人？对，这就是美国穷人，比发展中国家太多人都强。
感恩这是开启2021的第1部电影。配乐有时很贴合，有些时候有点满。和前作《骑士》一脉相承的摄影太棒了，如麦克多蒙德所说“摄影机注视我的脸，像是在看一座国家公园”。轻描淡写下大象无形，无依者晚年困境，充满哀伤和温情。无论前路何方，nomad不讲最后的告别，只说see you down the road。
父亲赠予的盘子被好心人不经意摔裂，连夜粘好每一块碎片；跟着河流中燕子的倒影飞翔，待我离去且向篝火里扔一块石头；轮胎瘪了已无相干，双人钢琴逐客令；不再存在的家乡，守着他曾存在过的痕迹……在路上的人老了，流浪依然浪漫，却伴随着太多透心凉的孤独；人生阅历的差距在，相似题材赵婷比不过 Kelly Reichardt 也没办法，但几部片下来已经有了自己的格调，何苦跑去拍漫威呢？……
感觉这个选材无敌了，基本已经成功了六七成。残酷的现实和诗意的人的精神内核共存，无敌的美国路上风光给后者的呈现加分太多，所以其实对前者的启示是，要流浪，要做homeless，去美国。。。好吧，虽然觉得成功主要靠选材，但处理上毫无滞涩，纯熟老练，而且是自己改编的剧本，赵导演眼看就是李安后又一个毫无违和的可以把握美国精神内核的来自东方的导演。。。
「當你在穿山越嶺的另一邊 我在孤獨的路上沒有盡頭」
documentary-like and very poetic; the leading actress amazed me. "what's remembered, leaves" Everybody will eventually go down the road. But why not saying "goodbye", I like this word much more when I recently learned that it originally was an abbreviation of "God be with you". Fantastic use of music!
非常喜欢，契合了目前的一部分心境。叙事从容自信，表达了很多，不同的观众会看到不同的东西，但都是含蓄的。中老年女性角色主场，特别有共鸣，感到安慰和治愈，虽然是悲伤的底子。当然了，是一个童话，纯粹诗意。
说穿了就是火人节的升级版嘛。影片是深度聚焦了一种广受城市中产阶级好评的生活方式。好或者不好另说，是对胃口的，对的是占领审美以及文化中心的城市中层以上的人群的所想所好。精美但是浅显，那种叶公好龙式的凝视与氛围感。

整体还行。#就是大早上的起来看这部，也不知道是被治愈了，还是更加沮丧# 黯淡的现实主义时刻也都细腻生动，不过越是后面越是陷入温情主义的泥沼，此消彼长的抒情性配乐总让人觉着是在翻阅旅行纪念相册。车与房，囚禁与放逐，总让我想起赫尔佐格那部更加绝望的《史楚锡流浪记》，那部里有着稳定的人物关系也就有了有了稳定的伤害。赵婷的这部人物似乎都是随机性事件的一部分，对他人与自我基本还抱着乐观的怜悯。
她灿若银河，她泯然人海，新年的一束烟花，山林的寂静回声，谁此时孤独便永远孤独，谁此时于路上，便永远于路上。
Chloé Zhao的长片进化轨迹非常清晰，第一部从大量纪录片素材中剪出一个相对的故事线，第二部用人物扮演真实的自己，再到第三部的专业演员领衔，不变的是对特定人群生活的细致记录和描述，带领观众靠近他们，其他则无需多说。
让人想起卡尔维诺写的：你走了那么远的路，只是为了摆脱怀旧的重负。
艺术的「政治性」再次被至高无上的「金狮」强调出来。事实上，赵婷只是被它选定的艺术家中的一个而已。如果《圣殇》是对宗教文明的重构，颇具争议的《小丑》是对城市文明的讽刺，那么《无依之地》就是欧洲知识分子给全人类指明的出路。这条路通往哪里？我们追随着一团流动的篝火最终来到《青山翠谷》里的教堂。但不要忘了，仁慈的父可是鼓励我们走出他的庇护：艺术家是浪子，宗教太沉闷，科学太枯燥，艺术家是水淋淋的浪子。然而这不是浪子回头，而是先有家，住腻了，浪出来，带足家产。不能太早做浪子，要在宗教、哲学里泡一泡。我相信科恩嫂的「家产」深厚而富足，但我不认为每一个无家可归之人都做好了奔赴《无依之地》的准备。在远征或者流亡之前，我们需要扪心自问的是：我们会不会和自己做朋友？我们能不能克服对于死亡的恐惧——与艺术称兄道弟。
