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.
反方律师和法官也有点弱，一个就在那听着，等人家说半天说完了才反对，一个是直接说秃噜了嘴，让人抓住把柄
剧情是很不错的，后半部分的翻转，挺让人意外的。但印度式的全程bgm和慢动作，硬要表现出正义凛然的画面 实在太腻了。后面一直再快进，近3个小时的电影完全可以缩短到一个半小时。政治的黑暗，所有人都是棋子罢了，正义，几乎不存在
名过其实。一群律师和法官连基本的法律训练都没有受过。
我看不下去了 政治的东西 我还是理解不了 可能还要看看评论再决定要不要认真看下去
怎么说呢，这个剧情，真的会让我感到emmmmmmm
前半段节奏太慢，甚至过于拖沓……直到律师的出场才开始步入正题，氛围紧张起来，高潮接踵而至，层层反转实在过瘾，尤其是在扎实的剧本和台词下，几何倍数地放大了题材的优点。
导演和编剧尽了最大的努力将一个如此宏大、深刻、复杂的问题结构化地叙述和表达出来。结尾稍显仓促和混乱，但瑕不遮瑜，敢拍能拍这才是最重要的。
早已确定，在韩国电影把你甩的车尾灯都看不见的今天，那个人口过剩有种种种问题在我们这里充斥着干净又卫生网络梗用来瞧不起的第三世界国家的印度电影也吊打你，题材以媒体导向和网络风向影响真相的今日社会现状为引一个奸杀案背后的反转更是对体制的无情揭露切准时代病症，对程序正义的嘲讽。虽然反转刚开始略显突兀但是能感觉到用尽心思去圆试图保留悬念，第三幕问题也很多讲述感过于严重缺乏流畅性也陷入被动，就这政客和警察的sloppy做事够蠢的，但是对人权和女性关注正是对自己国家的质疑的敢“一个国家尊严取决于对女性的尊重”太强了这句台词，guess who是律师口中的捂嘴，只有幸福的幻象。不说了省的像我杰伊比姆短评被捂
/2022.6.29/非常理想化，但确实真的勇啊！
2小时30分，再次反转，之后应该没有反转了吧，律师果然是男主。
中文翻译成宿敌是什么鬼，直译过来应该是人民的名义才对嘛！
反转挺有意思…还是和之前我评论的另一部电影类似，像是抓住了一个社会典型现象的问题点，然后硬拓展出来的假想故事，还是有一些逻辑漏洞的…如果我们要靠编造完美切题的故事来影射一个社会问题中微小的点（舆论影响观念），然后蜻蜓点水地带上几个幕后剧（各种典型社会问题），这显得有一些过于取巧…
是不会主动去看的类型，不过还真是不错啊，印度片也比中国片自由。很多社会现实，很多反转，感觉这要是拍成8集左右的故事片，把没讲完的故事和很多支线人物丰富一下会更好，多个主题都能讲到，而不是现在有点太多了。
讨论的话题非常有意义，剧情反转的设置也很爽文，但就一个问题，印度的法庭是可以这样随便一人show的吗？
看到一半还以为就是个继续的俗套故事，后半段开始反转。所有民众能看到的，都是各种博弈下故意引导的，底层会有流动，但头部玩家几乎不转移不涌入，只是限定人群的接力赛而已。想明白这个，很多事情自然就解释通了，金字塔的底层贡献劳动力和支持率，金字塔中间负责执行，塔尖的教皇们则坐享其成，求同存异。
种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆
仅几部印度电影不断刷新深度高度……评本片，用警察总督对副手的那句台词：“这就是政治”！
你看到的都是希望让你看到的，要爱惜每一次的情绪动用。
虽然反转很好，但是故意煽情，拖沓，转场混乱，导演功底有点欠缺。多一星给律师的精彩演出！
依然是淡淡的奇幻小清新，然而对于这一部剧场版而言，片尾曲才是全剧最佳。
