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.
不敢想宏大抱负，甚至过不好渺小一生，观众知道为什么，所以无法责备荒唐度日的年轻人。剪辑和配乐节奏恰好呼应了混乱年代的色彩，遗憾对魏玛共和国历史了解得还不够，不然会更有代入感。
她每天下午三点会来 不管是无主之作还是法比安 汤姆希林总给我意想不到但是又在意料之中的意外
活着是侥幸，死亡才是必然。
历史题材的电影真是出一部想看一部，过几天还有盟军方面的绞肉行动
最后炸弹终于被引爆，还是一个深水炸弹，一声闷响，扎心程度堪比《幸福的拉扎罗》。
激赞，不落窠臼的剧本, “迫真”对镜头语言, 将弥漫着的愁塑造得如此深度实为难得。
是不该死的人死了，不该活着的人活着，还是活着只是侥幸，死亡才是必然？
严谨又优雅地讨论着恐怖程序，1100万生命15人花两小时决定，跨部门区域合作的效率巅峰。杀小孩是帮助了反正都没了父母的他们，有混血血统的做绝育免伤家人感情，动态清零
除了结尾我不喜欢以外，其他的都棒的不行，拍摄风格，旁白，配乐，灯光和恰到好处的情绪，是一部非常好的电影了
一堂历史课。在恶魔眼中，生命只不过是一页页PPT中的kpi而已
颓废的生活，他遇见了她。然而他失业了，朋友自杀了，她也无奈的选择了生存。还有一线希望，他们约会了，他却意外离开了。她一直都在等着他。。。
汤姆·希林就是颜值劣化后的一美的高配代餐，各种意义上都是
爱极了这种间离感和文学性强的脚本，他游走在声色犬马光怪陆离的魏玛，保持着难得的清醒又孤立于每一个群体和时代。汤姆真的太可爱了德国一美。
除了姑姑和葆拉·贝尓，任何人跟汤姆·希林演情戏我都要嫉妒的。
最后，我也像他一样溺水，不过，我是死于窒息。
与其说是看电影，不如说像是在欣赏影响化的文学作品，琐碎絮叨又散发着脆弱迷人的气质，台词都非常文学性。印象最深的是男主写给女主试镜用的独白信，以及二人隔着玻璃的那个吻，看到中间就能预感到结局应该是悲剧的，但至少悲剧是发生在纳粹上台之前，仍保有一丝的美好。
全片充斥着碎片化但却温暖的情绪，事业、友情和爱情的不幸在导演的处理下都显得不太冷酷，试镜时的独白，les酒吧里和好友的轻轻一吻，咖啡馆对峙时女孩伴着Ombra Mai Fu落下的泪水，以及山雨欲来前返回家中和父母共享平静的幸福。
用了很多特别的拍摄技巧，后半和前半对比起来显得有些普通了，结尾真是非常有余味。
始于迷乱的性交，终于纳粹的焚书。混乱的魏玛末年，青年的爱情与事业都失去可以倚仗的秩序；而另一端，这个世界又在重整秩序，代价就是，普通人的秩序直接崩坏也在所不惜。看的过程有如读塞巴尔德的《眩晕》，又仿佛走在本雅明的旅途上。我们的人生无依无靠，我们只能自溺于历史的洪流。
“战争对于所有个体来说是不幸，但它也创造了机会，去书写真相，去激烈地干预社会，用宏伟蓝图区改造社会。就像农民如果想种田，那怎么也得先下锄头。”在那样一种背景下，是怎样的信念会让他们把种种残酷变成骄傲的事实。演员能说得出那些话，真的也是太厉害了。“这下跟孙辈们可有的讲了，有多少人能说自己塑造过世界历史呢？”
