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.
要讲太多东西，从麦卡锡，到女权，到种族歧视，最后一个大女主只想要一个温暖的家，也真是够了
爱人的名字与巴士底狱押韵，仇恨阿共但更仇恨麦卡锡，你代表了凡人我代表了自己，笑点世代隔阂但尊重彼此存在，演员比观众更需要一个维持幻象的魔法小屋，迷失晃神在一句“回家”的台词……群戏精彩的同时主线足够浪漫心碎，却也很理解其中内容的左右不讨好，加之索金一贯的信息量过载，难免广受差评
面对事业和感情都要坚持自我，认同自己所认同的。
讲故事的顺序太乱了，两位主演挺好。妮可演原型人物的时候甚至比她本人在戏外女神的样子还要有魅力
服化道奖基本拿了，想说妮可还是个好演员，换了眉毛的妮可美太多。种族➕女性的主题实在，太像看国内红色电影——有原罪
知道要拍什么，也大概知道想表达什么，但是真的拍的好无聊啊。妮可是不是真的选剧本的眼光有问题啊
算是传记片常有的通病吧 想涵盖的点多而杂 时间线乱 加上镜头语言的单调 让整个叙事很不抓人 Nicole的Lucille Ball 尤其在黑白光影中 总让我不由得恍惚成Renée 但凭借这么中规中矩的成片和虽成熟稳定但缺少话题性和巨大突破的表演 想要拿到Renée在颁奖季的剧本恐怕难度不小
这种本子对于艾伦索金那不是信手拈来，这种以小见大的剧作格式也已经做过很多次了，当然他的及格分就已经能踩在大多数本子之上，尤其是最后一场戏，单就一集情景喜剧的开场戏的版本争论，就可以倒扣回整个片子最核心探讨的两大问题，家庭与事业，这种巧思和设计真的十分厉害，但是能否请一个好导演来导？本身索金剧本的一大特点就是信息量爆炸，好的导演会通过合理的调度和镜头去谱写一个合适的戏剧节奏，但是索金永远只能在封闭空间里用正反打，轰炸式地喷射台词，这种枯燥的镜头和对话只会让观众迅速感到疲惫，因为必须得抓紧每一句台词才可以去参透整个文本的表达，这种纯粹紧绷的状态并不好受。而最后那么好的一场戏，也只能继续复刻之前七君子就用过的手段（推一个人物特写，淡出声音，大吊臂往上拉并且出字幕黑屏），只求来个导演救救索金吧
Nicole的新脸看越久越幻灭 所以不打算看完这片
三星半。妮可好多镜头都很像格伦克洛斯，面孔可以通过各种手段修复和保持，但是她的嗓音出卖了她，已经不如巅峰期了，但她仍然具有优势，围读会一场戏，她高挑的身材，手插在裤袋里挺立，只一个pose就把整场戏完成的相当漂亮。她在演想象拍摄的戏份也演得很好，专注专业令人信服，一般演员演一个过渡，一个状态，她有一种明确的东西在那个表情里，妮可确实是静态表演的高手，那场坐在办公室中望着海报等待的眼神也特别好。高光时刻是最后，丈夫在戏中戏里说lucy,I'm home，她停顿，你不知道她是否真的忘词，但是妮可通过这段戏中戏的等待回响，头定住，眼神扑闪，在情境喜剧里注入了奥斯卡级别的表演。
要素过多 但看得并不累 甚至有种层层悬疑破解的快感
比塔米菲和古驰家族好，但也真就只能和颁奖季黄区姐妹们比比了。艾伦索金依然热衷于用密密麻麻的台词和复杂的叙述结构来架构一部传记电影，只是综合水准实在是抬不上来，女主露西遇到都多重困境被满满地填塞在这132分钟里，讲得又没啥趣味，视听水准也没有，看着让人头痛。妮可基德曼拿到这样一个复杂角色最终交出了优异的答卷，找到了一些神韵，也很有情感力量，不像杰西卡查斯坦那样刻意地添加小表情小动作与奇怪的口音。只不过她打针打出的蜡像脸，对观感的损害真的难以抹去，让我觉得她做表情都多少有些吃力。
J·K·西蒙斯这两年老得有点快。电影讲的是美国的一部超级知名的情景喜剧一周的创作过程，大概相当于《我爱我家》那样的受欢迎程度吧。这一周从读剧本开始，到彩排，再到有观众的拍摄。表面上是男女主对于作品的探讨，特别是妮可非常强势的坚持，让剧组其他人感到崩溃。暗地里，妮可早年表明的立场让他们处于风口浪尖，严重到可能完结他们的事业。电影在终于完成了拍摄和解决了燃眉之急之后结束。看完我觉得最精彩的居然是最后那通电话，其它部分平平无奇，这显然不是导演的初衷，所以导演和我之间肯定有一个人出了问题。
美国人真的觉得自己家的一点破事都重要的要命。
哇一开场一个共产党大明星就因为是共产党要被行业封杀看的我好激动，对位置换啊，讨论的问题很特别。结果这事轻描淡写的过去了，还是在讨论婚姻话题…隔靴搔痒。
两点。
下次了解一下背景，再刷一遍。
从妮可的化妆完全分不出时间线…索金能不能别再导演梦了
Nicole Kidman 的脸到底是怎么了？一度以为她为了接近原型而化了特效妆
前2/3就算有奥老师的美颜也很难熬，好在最后情节快了起来。人终身都在为自己的过去买单
