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.
映衬这段历史的荒诞//
索金的剧本就不吹了，但他对于自己的剧本依然无法进行取舍，整部电影仍然是被剧本支配带着跑，铺陈满密集对白和庞大信息量的法庭辩论、会议演讲、示威游行以及纪录片段，没有给予片刻让观众停下来思考喘息，你知道它所批判所要表达的，但影片结束后并不会被感染不会被煽动不会去反思，这是电影技法和视听的失败不是剧本的。在看的时候一直会想要是大卫芬奇、贝尼特米勒或者原定的绿草或老斯来处理这个剧本会是什么样？
用了大量的蒙太奇使叙事有节奏和趣味性，每个人物的性格都很张扬，演员演得很好。政治意义大于故事本身吧。
🐂🍺，有意思的是虽然最后他们被判了刑，但是这个刑的力量真是太弱了相较他们而言。法律仿佛成了一个被人操控的小丑，渺小的可怜。权利之人想展示他们的强权地位之力，却自损八千，着实可笑。
艾伦·索金太厉害了，一个封闭空间里群像塑造，故事节奏时刻在线。虽然不断来回的博弈，以及不断闪回的记忆片段，会让人稍显不解，但很快又拉回主线。最后的结案也太燃了！竟然看泪目了！！呜呜呜，抵抗非正义的战争，和平万岁！！
文本出色，法庭戲劇感重。當有爭執、連珠發砲時，整部電影充滿節奏感；但有些文戲雖然寫得好，剪接的節奏卻跟不上——這問題在片頭，出片名前後兩個sequence最明顯。
(SDS)
卡司，剪辑，内容俱佳。最喜欢律师，异皮，胖哥和小雀斑互相嘴炮那几段。还有基顿叔依然气场足。原来美国也有政治审判哦，这部芝加哥《七佰》拍的不错。
大胆发言：虽然身处不同文化、阶层和时代的趣味里，但艾伦索金的问题和李炳宪是一样的。
顶到脑门儿的压迫感，句句申辩刻入灵魂。最令人惋惜的是电影的结尾，当观众不如角色般坦然面对获刑时，一反整部电影冷峻压抑的风格来了场热血狂欢，过于突然。对小雀斑的表演不是很满意，但这可能是由于戏骨聚众的关系。
本来就是场荒唐的审判，大篇幅的法庭戏一点也不枯燥，金句频出，很燃。对萨莎·拜伦·科恩刮目相看，Abbie这个人物和他很像，看似玩世不恭，却活得很清醒。
反战思潮、嬉皮文化、五月风暴，那是“整个世界都进入了青春期”的六十年代。
我以为庭审戏设计得太戏剧化了，结果竟然大部分都是在庭上真实发生的。
瞧瞧人家的主旋律电影The whole worldis watching！
尤其当他最后扣上扣子起身致敬
都这个年代了，还在用这种方式洗脑呢。。全篇无聊至极，毫无触动，还是民主党老一套，内容零散，并没有一个完整的叙事。。其实也写不出完整的叙事。。因为这种斗争本来就是割裂的
他从来知道这是一场政治审判
这部电影的台词就是一切，酣畅淋漓的俩小时；“60s outside the bar, 50s inside the bar”
科恩比小雀斑好，古怪又精明。从开头的“rock opera”燃到了最后啊
一场伟大的战斗，在抗议活动一线，更在法庭上，任何对文明社会有追求的公民都应该一看。
