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.
Lucien本来要讽刺一本书，然而在他看完书后，说"我无法诋毁这本书，它有着力量，感情...文章inspired，sincere，never conventional."
中规中矩吧，小说原著里那些枝节但很重要的剧情与人物都砍掉了，故事变得紧凑，但这样一个巴黎梦碎的故事也挺普通的。
哎，虚幻的繁华伸手可得，缺一碰就碎…等到繁华落尽时，那些最虚伪最狡猾的人被留下…
The illusion called capitalism
很扎实，而且很好看（重点）。能从旁白中窥出原著的魅力，勾引你去读巴尔扎克的那种魅力。
资本的世界，都是玩物，有权有财，才是赢家—导演李玉超
这出人间喜剧处处都是幻灭
这是一部集中反映文学艺术商品化及新闻界黑幕的小说，也是《人间喜剧》中最有深度，也最能反映时代精神的杰作之一。小说通过两个有才能、有抱负的青年的遭遇，反映了法国大革命以后整整一代青年的处境和精神状态，指出随着封建制度的解体和资本主义的胜利，必然出现人与人之间竟争角逐的局面，由此无可避免地会产生一首首个人奋斗的诗篇，一出出理想破灭的悲剧。
尽管老亨利归隐多年，但你大爷还是你大爷。标准的西部套路，迷惑的对手身份是亮点，只是没有足够的过瘾。蒂姆·布雷克在《巴斯特·斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》之后，神气范儿依然很正。
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量
单单是这种one's life story can be told的感觉就是近几年久违的了，唯二两部似乎就是这部和《法比安》，结尾的水也跟《法比安》不谋而合。巴尔扎克的底子在那里，节奏掌握好就不会差，不过相比之下预告和海报的感觉莫名浅显，可能会流失潜在观众。算是朝着现代狂奔的法国影业少有的优秀古装片。(P.S.虽说多兰做导演是为了演戏，但现在再看他演戏：这就是多兰自己嘛这也太出戏了...
在这个野心勃勃的世界里，卢锡安是谁？他不过是被玩弄，一个追逐虚荣与享乐的孩子，他为这些输掉了一切，如同飞蛾扑火一般，做了环境的奴隶。（三星半）
电影只是拍摄出粗糙的框架，和情节，而原著是将十九世纪王朝复辟时的巴黎中的政治，宗教，人性，生活，爱情，活灵活现的描写出来，什么是阶层的差距，什么是贵族，什么是现实世界的规律，其中都有答案。
一个可能开场就知道会幻灭的故事。男主身处十九世纪上半叶的巴黎，没有权力和家世，即使巴黎确实也给了青春的他昙花一现的名声与财富。电影改编自巴尔扎克的小说，剧本的节奏感很好，除了结尾有些仓促。多兰也在电影中饰演了一个角色，而且电影中的一些镜头也颇具舞台戏剧感，也颇具多兰的风格。
路西安，毁就毁在了他是一个诗人，单纯而经受不住诱惑，低估了人性。却也是罪有应得
拍案惊奇的左右手互搏的出位，蹂躏丢失的批判性思维的阵地，摧毁殆尽冉冉升起的理想。电影将200年前的文学评论印照着的200年后社交媒体大行其道时那股看不见的翻手为云覆手为雨的分裂与愚昧的讽刺力量推向影响力的巅峰。太阳底下无新鲜事的小人物在物欲横流的上层社会迷失堕落，正反炒的妙手翻转着命运的两面，现实主义下，以文学高雅印象为底，照出世人笃信高尚人性和三观的自负面貌，而以点及面的嘲讽是幻灭之作。可是在绝佳的文本上雕刻出差强人意的制作是怅然若失的，电影作为视听艺术不该仅成为文学作品的简单影像化产品，应当注入以现下眼光回望厚重书册的活力，凝炼沧海桑田从未变革过的现状，衍生更多思想道德腐朽的惊喜。
Pineapple will save us from poetry!就非常basic或者說老套的名著改編，男主也說不上有魅力（大概就是土和演技麻麻吧，主要看起來就智商很低）當年看小說的時候是很喜歡的，但電影實在是睏到不行，多蘭這個扮相實在太奇怪了，好好搞導演事業別演了哥（
也没爽到什么，开始大舅哥被爆了头，大家枪法集体失准。
凡所有相，皆是虚妄，浮华的巴黎勾起的欲念如同海市蜃楼，终会幻灭。喜欢简单通俗易懂的叙事方式
人类需要思考，大清都亡了百年，为啥还是会跪舔！因为大多数人仍然向往那些不劳而获的权利！
