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.
太平铺直叙了，看到最后毫无代入感，不是我喜欢的类型。
还行吧，还是种族歧视那点事，说实话这种片子在国内很难产生共鸣，因为国内不存在这种现象，但是在国外却比较吃的开，政治正确力量是无穷的
作为一部商业恐怖片来说，确实有些沉闷，但是政治隐喻（抑或是明喻？）的介入，让糖果人这一形象具备了更加广泛而深刻的现实基础，蜂巢所类比的是横跨数个世纪的种族歧视与野蛮杀戮，愤怒与怨念都相对完整地包裹在了工整的形式美学之下。
好家伙，又是恐怖塞进去政治议题。这还看不出政治议题，那我就只能……
个人很喜欢这个故事，很多场景太熟悉了，深深怀疑导演是不是art school出身的。利物浦移植到芝加哥毫不违和，那个Carbini-Green的场景和英国20世纪前50年的底层街区好像。这部和《索命咒》一样，都是喊话茄子人（说喊话亚裔的真拿自己当回事儿啊）：你以为你混到上层就不受制度性歧视么，想多了（而且我敢打赌导演家庭本身和男主就是同一个阶层的，算内部觉醒吧）。这部还有一个想法很赞就是不是翻拍，而是同样在电影宇宙里把整个都市传说作为legacy传下去，92版的女主就是这里面那个研究者Helen Lyne，糖果人则是同一个人。而且稍微能get到一点导演的逆反心理：你们白人流行影视文化有超英做legacy，我们黑人就用恐怖故事人物好了，谁叫你们拍出来的都是汤姆叔叔那种人畜无害型的
扯太多艺术上的事了明明就是披个外衣，有点尬，结尾更是突然，神神鬼鬼怎么就又变人为了，融合得有点僵硬。
没看懂
有点受够了乔丹皮尔的万事种族恐怖片 好像离开了种族压迫就不会讲故事了？明明是恐怖片的设定 最后镜中恶魔演化成黑人兄弟的守护神 专杀“高高在上”的白人 对黑人网开一面 精神内核变成了低配版黑豹。如今美国黑人可以当总桶 入学入职处处受优待 打砸抢不必伏法 还想要怎样才算“平等对待”？
不止于标签化的银幕恐怖形象，糖果人传说背景下承载的社会病结使其具有更深一层的解读意涵，也与现实挂钩。视听耳目一新，配乐很能带动节奏与气氛，文本过度纠结于致敬及控诉，终究不甚大气。
女导演挺自我的，不少画面看得出来追求，就是忽略惊悚片本质的氛围塑造和氛围接氛围的设计。
6.0，气短，电影质感十足（电影形式和思维），近年惊悚悬疑片唯一可称道的只有不错的视觉感受（滤镜，精致的布景）适合大荧幕，可惜内地影院很难引进。
思想性不错 镜头感十足
这很芝加哥
确实矫情，如病态的呻吟，除了几段情色片段有刺激感，全篇要表达的那种呐喊，层级差很多的无奈，和底层的孤单与挣扎都没有表现到位，观众无法产生共鸣
一部黑人血泪史 糖果人和隐形人设定相像 都是你看不见 但危险就在那里 观众比角色更能感知危险从而加重了惊悚 以及通过媒介在剧情设定和摄影上玩花样（镜子-任何反射的东西/衣服-任何能覆盖或沾染的东西）
3.5；节奏感足，构图和光影一流，各种角度的切换也较为流畅。然其整体套路依然十分陈旧，还是跳脱不了大部分恐怖片都有的那种傻傻的感觉。多处场景让我联想到《闪灵》，又让《闪灵》在我心目中的地位提高了。
隐喻的建构还是挺耐人寻味的
糖果人2021重启版，剧情和老版的第一部有一点点关联。有涉及种族歧视的内容，但总体上比较无聊。全片最精彩的地方大概就是最后几秒，老版的糖果人回归。男主变身糖果人的部分有些重口，手臂逐渐腐烂，最后变成蜂窝，密恐都犯了
我知道电影要说什么，但剧情实在描述得太过干瘪了，也不吓人，全程想快进。
高潮太晚了或者说没有，不看老版根本不知道发生了啥，其实还可以往更深了挖掘，like《守望者》第5.6集。
