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.
三星半，多半星给部分初衷。。。
就算是刻意地为赋新词强说愁，我也喜欢这份笨拙但真诚的乡愁。
【85】
大型室外情景剧既视感，小男主互动角色，除了爷爷奶奶两个有点人性（妈妈也有点情绪），其他角色感觉都是棋子。家里和街道场景太缺乏生活痕迹了，暴动完路边整洁的比刚铺完沥青还新，可能导演对自己的童年回忆加了超级滤镜吧
每一个用黑白影像的导演一定都是有野心的，或者至少是有想法的。60年代末的贝尔法斯特，动荡而不安。小男主的童年恰好在这里。镜头下的真实生活都是黑白的，唯有主角一家人看电影的时候，银幕是彩色的。忍无可忍后，一家人终于离开贝尔法斯特搬家去伦敦。等小男孩长大以后，他的童年记忆会是彩色的吗？
彩色会让故事更生动，本来就是个活泼的故事和背景，就没必要去用黑白。何况你的配乐还那么流行。
三星。头尾两幕处理的不错，然而第二幕近乎崩塌。黑白摄影和故乡这种私人化的情节处理不由得让人想到卡隆的《罗马》。《罗马》是克制且冷静的，《贝尔法斯特》则滑向了它的反面——肯尼思布拉纳似乎不知何为节制，各种意义不明的琐事和迷影情节拼接在一起，想要在各种程度上表现出他对故乡对个人往事的情感，却最终落入过度的自我陶醉之中。
每首歌倒是恰到好处，不过好散啊 也没法让我共情……
刚开始的调度让我想打一星，和罗马比就是个渣渣，后面统一的孩童视角，离开故乡的情绪也能让人感动。最大的收获就是发现性感的多南也会演戏了。但是仍然在提名里是最差一级的，比理查德好那么一点
肯爵的童年自传片？选择离开真的是一件很难的事情，对离开的人来说是这样，对留下的人来说同样如此。
其实……我真的……很想说……有些国内导演……能拍到这个程度就差不多了……基于此……这片也不很差…（ps感觉科林老叔比梅林里长得好看了！！）
如果不是迫不得已，谁愿意背井离乡，家乡千百般落后与混乱，却在街头巷尾有同样的熟悉与温暖。年轻的人，可以轻易启程另一段人生。老去的人，只能选择与回忆相伴留守，叫他们不要回头。
没看懂。但抢超市那段妈妈问你抱着那个洗衣粉干嘛？小男孩回答：it's biological！还是挺搞笑的。爸爸有点像裘德洛，最后那说的那段话应该记下来。我也不知道这世界为什么这么多歧视和冲突，搞不懂
但最后还是让我感动
50-60s导演思绪回潮将创造精力聚焦在私人回忆，和《罗马》之间再差几个《罗马》，怎么说，buddy还真的像是60年代的孩子（in every way
少了份暗流涌动，也没有直接来自当时社会问题在生活上的影响
但是，这种生活碎片采集式的手法确实导致整个影片哪里都涉及一点点但没有一处是深入讨论的。尤其是加上大量的插曲——大部分还是直接以bgm附着与故事之外的——更是冲淡了在那样的背景下应有的迷失感与压抑感。
装腔作势地跟拍一段无逻辑的运动，随后的大全景自曝其片场实质，电影小镇级别的置景完全僵死，人物在各种精致构图的钳制下如同木偶。为什么要对标《罗马》？几乎和国产片水平差不多，报奥斯卡之前不如先来春节档走一圈，让大伙看看北爱版《我和我的父辈》
肯爵写给家乡的情书，非常personal的作品。剧情主要叙述了家庭琐事，冲突可以说完全感受不到。
故乡和他乡。孩童视角。
