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.
此片的口碑大胜利实在让人目瞪口呆。网剧电影，快销脱口秀+散装视听语言。金句频出的网络写手第一部长片就忙着自我致敬，倒也不必如此自信。要素如此齐全，如果没有徐峥等大牌脸，就像放大过油版学生作业，还有没扇匀的烟。合家欢，满场观众笑得开心，但我越来越迷惑了。被杨博士带着炒币后，感觉万物都像区块链。一张嘴，一个故事，一群人往里砸钱。
对小资产阶级那点儿小情调、小癖好、小虚荣、小欲望拿捏得死死的，又用自我吐槽来消解了这种装腔拿调，让其在这片土地上不至于显得格格不入。小资的困境就在于心中像红拂一样渴望自由，但却不得夜奔，只能借一夜情来完成一夜的出逃。老白和老乌其实是一个角色的两面，老白是现实，老乌是神话，也是用来点题的那个角色：爱情就是神话，何必在乎真假。
创作者对于爱情/生活/电影的想象和理解是多么贫乏，而观众又是多么饥渴
片中马伊琍、吴越、倪虹洁饰演的三位女性，性情不同，各有代表性，但都有程度不同的现代底色。从女性角度来看，这片有值得探讨的地方。对于影迷，专属梗不少。片名、片子的确和费里尼那部《爱情神话》有千丝万缕的关系。承担女神符号和欲望投射对象的，是意大利国宝女星。
审美和文本都太牛了…整个片子让人足够快乐，但又快乐得恰到好处而能够留出空隙来啧啧称奇
观感很舒适，没有刻意抖机灵也没有狗血爱情，几个主角之间的人物关系戏剧却有说服力，而且好几段台词我都忍不住感叹写得太妙了，尤其喜欢片尾那种故事仍在继续的感觉，让我好像也融入进他们的生活里参与了他们的聊天一样，真是难得的体验
近两年在影院看过最喜欢的电影，有种国片有救了的感觉 ps表白无双姐姐
不知所云
真的是我最近看过非常喜欢的一部电影，让人看的很舒服的电影。里面包含的元素过多，讽刺喜剧，城市生活，性别歧视，还有时代发展之下人们的刻板形象等等等等。也非常喜欢片尾出字幕那一块，有种生活就是一部电影的意味在里面。真的超级喜欢！
学院派导演的娱乐片。比文艺片通俗，比商业片深刻。ps，原来老乌是林冲。
洒落的大人生活，有姿态有腔调有态度，如果40岁是这样，哪还有什么害怕。完全没有新人导演贪多不节制的毛病。感谢这部电影，让2021年日渐趋于单一的电影市场最后留下了一丝温暖。

3.5. Neither a masterpiece of realism nor a disastrous, complete sham, this film is roughly as good (or as bad) as a mid-tier Rob Reiner/Norah Efron rom-com. The real question is whether we could still afford to enjoy such a film innocently in this day and age.
时隔整两年重回电影院第一部。又市井又洋气啊，毕竟国际化大都会，看看里面提到多少国家：英国，法国，意大利，土耳其，前苏联……也有遗憾，不是说好的女性群像吗，怎么展现最充分的是大肚男徐峥，情绪爆发和点题又在老乌身上？
下半夜回家，在昏暗的楼梯被突然一阵水声吓得半死，转过头看到熟悉的大红色水桶，原来三楼又把那只乌龟放到家门口站岗……属于上海的烟火气啊，这也算其中一件吧～
《爱情神话》很奇妙的一点是，这是由女性导演从男性视角展示的女性主义，其中的性别转置把原本尖锐的对立柔和了、戏谑了、让男女观众看着都能舒服了。更奇妙的是，这个男人还是个上海土著男人——一个打破刻板印象的刻板印象，一个解构父权的突破口。黑人能调侃黑人，同性恋能调侃同性恋，上海男人能调侃男人。
沪语式的打情骂俏和拌嘴唠嗑小品拉成了两个小时，没有故事支撑的小聪明就很显得无聊。台词可以说是接地气，但电影里的生活并不是，披着一张前殖民地中精致上海的皮，描摹出来的中年上海人的爱与嗔怪，有爱情有理想有文艺，一个个性格面目鲜明的人物，被安插在弄堂口巷子里阁楼上，吃咖啡喝酒品鲫鱼汤，是社交网络里精心布置出来的那一面，唯独没有扎根成长在这个城市里的生存感。
悲哀在于，情感和日常需要靠那些遥远的符号（费里尼/索菲亚/土耳其/英国/红拂夜奔）才能串联起有意义的链条，这无非是另一种偶然与想象。如此语境之下，精致的海派生活倒显出一种自欺欺人的况味，仿佛老白对小皮匠问询的变体“你的咖啡里有麻木的味道吗？”一边是悬置的能指，一边是实际是所指，双方在迷影式的致敬中少见的没能达成影像上的统一与和解。于是，爱情在本片中像一场精神上的屠杀，目标是这些或单亲带娃或有暧昧过往的中年男女，这里没有爱情的青春热血和蓬勃朝气，只剩拖拖拉拉的消极和孤叹。电影在准确描绘出中年爱情状态的同时，也将这些中年人抽象化了，因为他们在这场屠杀中的所有反抗与逃亡，皆是以有钱有闲为基础的。而更多的普罗大众，连被这种爱情蹂躏的资本都没有。这当然是一部好电影，但生活的底色赋予了它某种失败的气质。
所有的表达都藏着一种很聪明的暧昧，用喜剧的面孔半遮半掩，认可的人哈哈大笑，不认的人也不会生厌。
设计感过重 靠台词和语言来表达观念 令人失望
