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.
当人们站在道德的制高点，陷入一边倒的信息茧房，反而更容易被人利用。在当下的舆论环境里，拥有清醒理智的头脑，独立思考，也许比一腔热血的理想主义来的更加重要
我的天老爷啊，直到最后一刻仍在反转，真的震撼，真的感动，老师实在太太太太太温柔而强大了，我真的会因为失去她而感到伤心的……ps：看完之后深刻反省自己，因为在律师出来之前，我也被误导了，站队了警察，但很快真相被揭穿，我又对警察感到愤怒。然而直到最后一刻，我才意识到，操纵情绪是如此简单的事情，让子弹飞一会，不要让情绪控制自己…
配乐有点太奇怪了吧？很好的剧本拍的乱七八糟的，一堆无意义的流行歌配慢动作，结局也是莫名其妙的，8.6分咋来的？？？
后半段庭审反转一个接一个，
非常棒的电影！词穷，不知道怎么形容，目前2022年个人看过最棒的。
神片算不上，但印度电影真在觉醒，被蒙住眼睛捂住嘴巴，总要有人出来呐喊吧。哪怕是微弱的声音，我们还没有被逼到绝境，懂的都懂
可是，我们真的需要一片可以仰望的天空！
另外国内影视作品的局限之一是只能说环境是好的，坏的是某个中层，以至于对社会话题无法有深刻的讨论，只能说这特例的特殊性，没有延伸的讨论和反思的空间，不过这就是想要的盛世
这部电影法庭对峙最后一场，是看过的最佳嘴炮庭辩戏，激情饱满到让人产生睥睨天下的错觉。有人说，敢这样拍，有希望。早前类似论调的是棒国，现实却是三星的营收已占其国GDP近五分之一，就是你可以说但不能做，真干？看我干不死你。这类电影大概可划为政治惊悚片范畴，与文艺界的活跃度有关，属于专业问题，非要扯到社会现实层面，是个泄伐闸，改变？是不是想简单了，翻翻史书，文艺就是锦上添花，宣传宣传，看这地人已经吃饱穿暖可以玩玩花活了。立国治世？看看李煜徽宗。望变，不斗争没点代价可行？不会真把联播上呼吁美帝咱们要共赢不要零和博弈，当真了吧。
非常极限的ab故事倒装结构，印度电影版《沉默的真相》，台词、人物塑造极为精妙，关键是触碰的话题无所顾忌，酣畅淋漓。印度电影神如斯，我等汗颜。
不到最后一个画面之前不要轻易对影片下论断，蒙太奇在这片子里运用的恰到好处。
这密集的反转让人闻到了商业电影金钱的味道...
这部影片涉及了一个国家的公检法、媒体、学校、政府等各个组织，对不受约束特权的贪污腐败，权力和利益集团的勾结，政治制度的荒唐，政党间斗争的无耻，教育的破败，制度性的社会不公，三六九等的阶级分层固化和矛盾加剧，公民权力义务和政治参与方式等等问题进行了批判和反思。
确实是不错，让人有很多的触动和思考，如果后面没有那么多政治元素，也许会更好一点。
抛开政治抛开法律，光一个种姓就够喝一壶了，国内的阶层压制至少不是明面上的，种姓于印度，贱民不如狗。
不得不承认，光看前半部我还以为是个印度版V for Vendetta，中间12 Angry Men。过分青春热血卫道，老衲我差点直接掐了。幸好叙诡反转还是挺有趣的，坑也都填上了。总结一下这就是个只看脸和出生的国家，额，噢那其实咱们差不多。不过总是莫名其妙的唱歌抒情真是打断节奏(这是正剧啊，有必要搞Bollywood那一套么）。说实话拍摄制作方面真不怎么样，5星全是给剧本的
看一半被剧透后真就索然无味了。电影本身不错反转足够，氛围也强。时长过长了
这部电影没有传说中的那么优秀，大家给它打高分，都是因为人家敢拍。五星好评背后，是默默咽下的苦涩与不甘。
印度电影真的这些年有超越日韩的趋势，原因就是他们敢说敢拍，他们真实！
精彩绝伦！是这几年看过的最棒的印度影片之一！能把本国政治丑陋的一面搬上大屏幕很值得佩服。剧中无数的反转看的也很过瘾。简洁干练不拖沓。
