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.
晚上买的告别场因为疫情电影院关了，只能看腾讯视频。剧本到一些小设计都看得出刻意跟老套，但是难耐真实，熟悉的深圳与潮汕文化，有丶想回去吃东西。结尾手机视频+飞机神来之笔。
影院里另外7个人我猜应该都是潮汕人，作为唯一省外代表听着潮哥潮姐们洪亮的电话与嬉笑怒骂声，声临其境体味潮汕另一种“文化”也挺奇妙。作为一个去过汕头超过10次的喜爱潮汕的外省人，蛮失望的。镜头没有拍出汕头10分之一的美，故事呢很潮汕的没有超出一毫米的套路情节，暂也不必强求之，但都2022了能不能不要用10年前的镜头拍20年前的机场狗血离别。能想象导演真的很用力把家乡讲给大家听，但除了祭拜，粿条，小公园，和厝里大嗓门的男男女女，这些堆砌的符号的功能仅仅是带我又出差一次汕头一样，好吃好玩之外记不清什么，也留不下什么，也许是要求太高，或是这些要求甚至只是凭空想象，但允许一个喜欢潮汕的外省人，期待潮汕人的精神，崇尚着潮汕人的信仰，热情于潮汕人的传统，甚至那些嘴里喊的，大家听的所谓封建，也值得一探究竟。
5大学看过一点2012年的《鮀恋》，方言听不懂，情节矫情，弃了。
故事并不新颖，父母与子女新旧观念的碰撞，影片中展示的潮汕文化独具一格，演员演绎在线，部分情节上掉线，没有代入感。
特别好。青年无力撕扯故乡脐带，故乡则在叹息着接受新的规则。妈妈演的最好，但明显在都市的戏，导演就没有在汕头的灵动了，有点可惜。
形婚悲喜剧。印度的同性恋生存状态跟我们差不多，也是出了柜要背负全家的指责和压力，还以为那个看起来比较开明的爸爸会说些欧美电影里常有的暖心话呢，结果一张嘴：“这样的事怎么就发生在我们家了？！”熟悉的味道，这话我也是听过的。亚洲性少数人群共同的痛。
1恋爱、见家长、结婚……孩子们的婚姻是大部分中国家庭的头等大事之一。当这些事发生在潮汕家庭，又会有怎样的表现？
影片整体非常亲切接地气，能感受到主创团队的良心，希望本作能大火~
妈妈的人物弧光最完满，配乐太好太好，素人表演的稳和情感流露的真，弥补了导演技法的拙。
整体基调很轻松，但是把现实中会遇到的问题都有反应出来。虽然理想又不失真实。
向上的三星半。语言听感上的相近导致有种看台语片的恍惚感。但这是绝不逊色于某些台语片的潮汕方言片。用回乡的契机回溯潮汕传统文化的美与弊，同时兼有时代大潮下海边小城汕头的思变。
除了太长，喜欢合家欢设定。道阻且长，希望世界更美好。
真实自然的故事，流畅舒适的表达，真挚契合的配乐，恰到好处的情怀和地方特色，以及带着惊喜和巧合且省钱的彩蛋式收尾，春节档最佳，与其刷大片不如捞一部有趣的小制作素人电影来得有意义，四星加一星，权作赞助！🎉
单说电影叙事的话会觉得还行，但是能这样拍且上映，真的太棒了吧，最后游行那一段很感人！
现在我们碍于法律而不离婚”
20220125@周二晚票价十八块，几乎包场，字幕走完清洁阿姨才走进来还问我就你一个人？错过免费场，还好最终没错过。好看，撑大粤区好电影给配乐和他妈加一星，原音方言版当然。
真的挺有意思的，印度拍这个题材不容易了，拍的也不错了👍
但是最終我們一定會走向這樣的結局
讲普通人的故事，有地方特色，但是剧情、节奏、表演都差了点火候。最后太拖沓了。女猪脚不好看，眼窝看起来十分怪。
这也是我们渴望的议题探讨，至少要给人看到希望，India Bravo!
