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.
迷你剧和第一部都没看过，不影响对内容的理解。剧情的安排和设定像流水一样自然铺开，感觉像是英式贵族传统与新兴平民媒介的冲突与融合，庄园的未来发展暗含更多可能。
而那些强行想要扣题和拔高立意的部分，也因整体影像感的缺失而失效。
他们都有光明是未来，连最尴尬的莫斯利都是天才大编剧
音乐剧电影最关键的是歌要好听，然而这部没有。加菲怎么有一点点像脸叔了!
还是一如既往喜欢大小姐😍😍😍
【B】当然是极度依赖情绪的，只有这样那些温柔和浮夸才能达到平衡。流畅的节奏和舞台与现实的对应转换当然是本片的优势，或许也正是音乐剧的本职工作，为观众提供丰富且持续的视听高潮。当然，其缺陷也在于本片的“可复制性”，优秀剧作角度的切入之下一切事件的导向都是模板化的，观众可以迅速看出那些凌驾于歌曲之上的点题意味。定位和发行策略决定了它是一部出彩的商业传记片，当然也注定了它无法触碰到真正的经典时刻。
4.5，喬納森衝他吼，你不就放棄了你的夢想嗎？邁克攬住他說，我只是一個平庸的演員，你知道紐約有多少平庸的演員嗎？但你知道喬納森·拉森嗎？只有一個。牢籠還是翅膀，去問那飛鳥吧，恐懼還是愛，寶貝，不要宣之於口吧。原來《吉屋出租》是在這樣一個背景下寫出來的，看到了好多人物的影子，所以弗雷德和他那紅頭髮的女朋友是Collins和Angel的原型嗎？
加菲还是帅的，镜头和剪辑的处理比故事更好，泳池里的时刻惊艳
断断续续看了一个周 足以证明乏善可陈 故事老套 歌曲平庸 于我唯一亮点竟是许久未见的歌舞青春女主角 瞬间把我拉回青葱的初中
多一星还是给情怀，这年头，好像也就这值钱了。就这种拍法，大概可以一直无止尽地拍下去。各种完美大结局，完美到甚至连老太太的过世都理所应当。可我还是怀念大表哥呀～～～
在得知桑德海姆逝世当天晚上在幕布上看到了60s的桑爷爷，一个暴击。Jon的歌是20岁时最爱，桑爷的则年纪越大越能体会，所以他们一个永远在30+，一个桃李满堂年年大寿。愿天堂永远有波希米亚人和小夜曲。
老夫人的少女岁月南法线和唐顿拍电影《雨中曲》的有声电影萌发线无缝融合～男仆的故事被一剪梅～马修你还不回来大小姐要被休丹西撬走了喂～唐顿好美大家好可爱❤️
这一部依然很唐顿，没有太多的波澜起伏但是却很隽永，看到最后老夫人的去世以及人来人往，还是很唏嘘。P.S.唐家屯电影系列就是每一部看完都想把剧挖出来再看一遍。
这才是能淋漓呈现当下流媒优势的音像制品，尽管电影语法/结构性较弱，LMM还是为其注入了难得轻逸的律动感。两种艺术体裁的融合不止体现于即兴唱段，还有情绪和画面的巧妙对接（泳道幻化成的五线谱，经典的天台抒情段落，偌大体育场内孤独的钢琴）。喜欢用脱口秀做scene-switching point的创意，观众直到结尾才露面，是对叙事上自传式口吻的印证。很多细节固然还可以深挖，但维持在目前的水平业已令人动容。生命倒计时前的任性执着，恰到好处的鸡血和感伤。
乔纳森的经历让人心碎。八年时间潜心创作，屡战屡败，屡败屡战！但他从没放弃过梦想，拼尽全力地燃烧自己，只为了触碰心中的那道光。最终，凝结了他一生心血的《吉屋出租》成了百老汇史上最著名的音乐剧之一。然而，就在这部剧首演前一个月，上帝无情地带走了他，他才36岁都不到啊……
体验到了歌剧的感染力，有新意，但仍没有跳脱出传统歌舞类型的框架，放在今年来看已经是佼佼者了。首先加菲的的形象从彼得帕克开始就一直非常适合这种埋头苦干的草根设定，确实是这部影片的不二人选，在影片中一展其别开生面的嗓音有如专业选手，LMM将拉森的歌曲几乎一比一地搬上大银幕并赋予其极大的生命力，围绕生前遗憾的展现不会太过挣扎，而是用拼搏奋斗的献身精神去回应外界的感慨，反而凸显其的传奇性 。泳池五线谱化为创作灵感的设计着实是让人眼前一亮了，献给所有对百老汇舞台抱有激情的创作者和观众，对比今年另一部改编之作《健听女孩》也收获了丰厚的口碑，可能在疫情之年西方世界真的很需要这样重拾热情的话题之作吧。
而现实里龙套很多，主角只有一两个。
Like Mary said: I wish you well. And I hope you will be as happy as our crule world allows.
看完之后完全理解了LMM为啥不拍自己写的剧却要来拍这个传记作品了，这是知音的灵魂碰撞，也是艺术家前后辈间的传承。Respect.
一个艺术家的牢笼还是羽翼，你更喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。
