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.
黑色幽默的剧情，罗生门式的剧本杀，线索与夹带在情节中的铺垫，将荒诞的故事与真相得以完美结合。影片以环环相扣的气氛为核心，以好人与坏人的变换为起始点，将沉浸式的剧本杀升华主题，或许这正是真相浮出水面的意义。
多线头，节奏稍慢，稍微有点绕，特别是外卖哥杀人那段，出现了两次，看的时候有点懵，还是得稍微思考一下，在恍然大悟上不那么流畅，话说回来，能有这样的片子不容易啊。
看了个解说被种草了这部片，但正片感觉还没解说好看，节奏和叙事有点奇怪，bgm也差点意思
楼下花园和筒子楼的构造以及营造的氛围，想起来，博尔赫斯，小径分岔的花园。
剧情设置还有点意思，画面氛围也很棒，但是每次切章节时候的配乐很割裂，类似一个舞台小短剧，没法整合起来
独幕剧形式的小成本喜剧，不断跳切反转的人物关系与剧情走向看得人眼花缭乱，给人一种人物跟着编剧笔尖走的感觉，立不住。
故事场景只有一间房，回溯式不断反转的叙事手法以及演员的表演都相当优秀。剧情意外性不足但保持了全程的紧张感和悬疑气氛，有零星出色的笑点。好人都不死的结尾力度差了一点，敢问放走孩子后还妄图嫁祸的脑回路？为鼓励这类重情节+叙事技巧而非大牌明星+特效的国产片加一星
其实布景和故事是很好的，整个结构、情节推进、人物一个个进入，就是没当作电影拍好。电影，有电影的叙事方式，这部电影的差距，还是在导演的功底。
仿佛盖·里奇电影和《惊世狂花》的拼贴，狭小空间多线叙事诸多人物粉墨登场。如果是导演的处女作，说明宁浩有接班人了
可惜了，市场现状是悬疑必须搭上喜剧才能卖。
故事的设定很悬浮，演员的表演到是很不错。结尾的主题升华非常公式化。
前面很有意思，叙事有《疯狂的石头》风格，中间有段像小品，高潮部分露了怯，结尾想致敬《神探》，但整体更像《大世界》，刻意的社会议题引入又明显的力不从心变成了《调音师》，窦骁发挥不太稳定，当然主要是因为对手戏是和范伟
反转到疲劳，巧合到离奇，青年导演为了讲个故事真可谓绞尽脑汁了。
感觉差一口气，太想营造反转，但整个故事看完没能给人留下什么余韵
视听语言太差了。整个片子都在筒子楼的封闭场景里拍摄，把视听的问题放大了，直接剥夺了闭环叙事里抽丝剥茧的乐趣。
倒叙插叙的循环使用揭开悬疑，再套上人物的“虚假”设定 ，结尾反转。大陆悬疑片不定期会来一部编剧高于平均水准，遵循悬疑片的发展规律。
给三星多了，给两星少了。挺没意思的，各种花里胡哨的剪辑和演员自我感觉良好的用力表演。
中式幽默，窦骁的人物力度展现的淋漓精致，好歹也是电影学院毕业的，他适合演坏人！！所以，人往往不要相信眼睛看到的。
叙事比较炫技，但是故事内核相对薄弱，有些地方比较刻意，水平不太行，浪费了好演员。
7分！几个演员在一个小场景中辗转腾移，通过不断的反转来渲染悬疑气氛和推动剧情，这在国产片中比较少见。影片的节奏虽然慢了点，但看得还算是过瘾，就是最后的收尾有点牵强，不过这很中国。
