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.
上一次看到这么喜欢的国产电影是什么时候呢 倪虹洁走进ktv时低了低头 又撑起笑容；马伊琍在天台说 再年轻一些的时候我也吃这套；小玛雅说“我背叛了” 老白赶紧说“我乱说的 你们什么事都没有”；老乌的爱情神话 看哭了 葬礼那段很喜欢 来和去都本应是如此自然的事
这部电影真的是吃不消啊。主线虚无缥缈，全靠上海的一些生活方式在攒动观影情绪。台词也是一边迎合讨好、一边阴阳怪气，感到不舒服。造谣索菲亚罗兰那段直接撞我枪口，扣一星。
有了资本和地位以后，在中国这个商业化严重的市场中也能拍点自己想拍的。就值得多一星。电影的整体感觉就是差点意思，但又觉得难能可贵。影片最触动我的是，所有主要角色，都没有大名。敬我们的白老师，李小姐，格格瑞亚，老乌。
上海人看完觉等很到位，是洋气又市民的上海的样子了，愚园、武康都是常去的路。圆桌吃饭的对手戏太精彩，高手过招，句句见血。
真的非常非常惊喜的一部电影
本来就有预期它好看，看完之后还是觉得好看！
不一样的地方是两性关系的设定不再刻板狗血，反而都是活生生有自己想法的独立人格人，每个年龄段都是。
这部电影是我今年看过的最开心幽默的喜剧，全片用上海方言呈现当今上海女性的爱情价值观可以说非常准确和真实，这可能和导演是一位女性有很大的关系，电影的幽默来自于人物之间的对话，沪味的絮叨对我这个上海出生的人来说不但亲切也确实真实，而片中所有的人都有精彩的对话使故事生动流畅，片中还有很多英文流行音乐的加入让这个故事很国际化，甚至有了爱乐之城的欢乐，爱情神话真的很神奇！
五个人在餐桌上一同吃饭的那场戏，互相试探，互相暗讽，言语游戏，配乐节奏一气呵成。
私封为今年的年度电影。几场餐桌戏里的场面调度十分精美，加上美术馆一场中戏仿的戏剧感，在日常鸡零狗碎的主题里制造出了一种神秘的升格。对性别议题大方地讨论，甚至让人产生一种这是一部在正常国家拍出的正常电影的错觉。
贺岁档最佳是这部才对啊！除去用得有点过的配乐问题，故事起承转合都很工整，有些地方的高光甚至让人忘了这是导演的处女作，每一场饭桌戏都非常有意思，好多台词越品越妙，三位女性角色各有千秋真的每个都好喜欢，可惜我费被这么个吐槽法哈哈哈
灵哦，居然用了三首我记得的歌
非常接地气和生活化的电影，尤其是在看了那么多悬浮剧以后，这部电影更显得难能可贵。在上海生活过的人会更有体会，这真的非常上海人，他们会用咖啡精致生活，买东西会比较，但这TM才是真实的人啊。
画室的三人谈话，两场聚会，阳台和门槛男女主对话，鞋匠的男女之见都写的非常有趣且深刻。
还有红拂夜奔护手霜之类的细节也值得玩味。太棒了！为导演点赞！
确实蛮灵的，全程上海话太加分了。（感觉我以后能像老乌那样生活）
处处可见导演小心思 艺辉学校 红拂 夜奔

伍迪艾伦应该讲过类似的纽约故事，但是本片非常上海小资味。只是在一个西部山区小县城的影院里，全场只有我一个人。中年小市民不讲爱情，但也自有其情感，马伊琍那个高跟牛仔裤配上休闲衬衫打领带，简直不要太帅。
沪语话痨城市电影。城市电影的灵魂不是反光玻璃上或购物中心里的“全球单城性”(uni-city)，而是独道的人间烟火。上海的女性气质是精明的：爱是投资，需要回报。整个电影就是一场入市风险评估，是反神话的。中西混杂，中产趣味，中年心态，正如结尾沙发上的人们，费里尼是看不懂的，生活却是值得过的。当然，对于沪外观众，从咖啡馆、画展到索菲亚罗兰，这恐怕是另一种“生活在别处”的都市神话。遗憾：歌曲太多，缺乏体系。
