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.
*btw Jamie Dornan is so fucking HOT，每次小男主叫daddy的时候我都想捂住他的嘴换自己来叫（不是
绕不开的童年情结、故乡情结。街区教派冲突是面，故乡和童年是里。导演并没有渲染冲突的紧张和恐怖气氛，一直在表现记忆中家人和故乡是温情。虽然街区冲突结束了，一家人轻松起舞，可离去的结果仍然没有改变。有人在贝尔法斯特弥留，就有人从贝尔法斯特离开。
并没有想象的那么糟糕。虽然有非常多糟糕的调度不明所以的摄影机位置、摄影机角度，可是导演私人的故事所勾连起的上世纪60年代爱尔兰贝尔法斯特地区的历史是迷人的
《贝尔法斯特》有着十几首动听的BGM，在轻歌曼舞中唱尽爱尔兰人的乐观幽默、执拗坚强，道出他们的心酸与不舍。
确实是更糖水更relatable的roma
3.5
摄影很好，但是我对于这部和罗马真的完全不感冒
若把此片看成是一部私家回忆，那确是很好了。
是背景本该不堪但拍得非常甜蜜温馨的私人记忆。爹妈是恩爱俊男靓女有摩擦能和好能携手进退，爷爷奶奶幽默善良大气还能倾听会表达，就算不是这卡司而是素人，也是极理想的家了。/街景的纸板感有点太强。有一瞬间我甚至都觉得很狗镇了。也许可以理解为一种风格吧。/开头结尾、几个观影观剧时刻是彩色，很工整的创意。/今年黑白的真的不少啊。/三星半。
英国的《八月》，喜欢里面的构图和摄影，配乐好听但太频繁，居然提名导演奖，令人费解。
For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost. 确实看出很多《一一》的味道，动荡的年月里更加感慨。
虽然有着一个沉重的时代背景，但片子显然融入了更多儿童视角的单纯美好。父亲母亲的形象选角俨然是偶像派的。黑白画面也是那么的细腻干净。
这是一部充满导演本人向奥斯卡评委会无限谄媚的作品，全片到处都是各种奇技淫巧的设计:黑白画风+复古年代戏+故乡情缘+小孩（童年）+迷影梗+金曲串烧+政治议题。确实因此拿到多项提名，可惜的是故事脚本太过孱弱，而且，因为太过刻意，一切都显得很假，摄影棚质感的复古街区，已经负债累累却窗明几净俨然一副中产阶级的家庭。。。就很让人出戏，本以为可以在“英国内战”的大背景下看到英国（北爱尔兰地区贝尔法斯特）某一户普通老百姓一家人携手与命运抗争的时代画卷，很可惜，导演功底尚不足以表达好这样的深刻议题，只能浅尝辄止。与同类型佳作《罗马》比差的不是一星半点。当然，全片也不是没有优点，摄影一星，音乐一星，小演员很可爱演得也很有灵气一星，综合三星，可看可不看。
小演员有点灵。有老旧舒适的质感，但时不时会跳出来一些themepark式的手法。
记录一个时代（政治），一些老片的出现挺让我惊喜：黑白中彩色的电影与戏剧/摄影很不错，一些地方比较做作/仅此，为什么是最佳原创剧本？想不通。
谁说黑白没有好滤镜，这不就是光鲜亮丽的黑.肯尼斯指导的片子看一部骂一部啊.
我知道那段历史不太平 但作为电影表现得太平了 最后高潮部分也是一笔带过 但Judi Dench演得太动人了
用黑白的影像呈现出一个9岁小男孩童年在家乡贝尔法斯特那段改变人生的过往。我个人觉得一些曾经背井离乡，迁徙或移民到其他地方生活的人会特别有共鸣。特别是已经进入中年、老年的人，生活已经稳定下来，更容易回顾往昔与家人和邻里相处的时光
3.5星。很《罗马》，但绝对逊于《罗马》。小孩很可爱，以至于整部影片都随着小孩的视角可爱起来了。
三百年根源的对立，二十世纪后三十年的流血冲突，几次在内战边缘。政治，民族，宗教，这些蔓延在街道社区的仇恨，隔阂，冲突，是笼罩在每一个离开或者留下来的人一生之中的。直到今年还在因脱欧的爱尔兰海边界问题，芬党领导人的防疫问题而引发冲突流血及恐吓。比照电影，是无论如何，都不能以轻佻，软弱来批评的。这种视角的选择，是艰难前进的和平进程中，可贵的真挚感情。
