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.
中国电影不仅在剧本讲故事的能力上，更在国家社会议题的反思和讨论上，离韩日以及印度电影差的越来越远了
这是电影吧？唉....这是一部风格糅杂的电影，既像韩国电影那样煽情（偶尔说的印度英语也恍惚间让我以为是说韩语），又像国产电视剧一样动不动来个恢弘的音乐，有时又好像好莱坞电影一样来点帅气特写和慢放。这是一部很“正确”的电影，就像《辩护人》一样，但我不认为是好电影。
社会意义还是很好的，但作为一部剧情片有点乱乱的
越是在信息社会快速发展的的时代，独立的思考越难能可贵。
但，它同时有着不能深究的故事逻辑，略微混乱的故事线，以及表面且杂糅的故事议题。
ps看过的第一部没有传统歌舞的印度电影
三哥社会问题拼盘大串烧。屏幕前的观众就如屏幕里的屁民一样容易煽动，电影开始时候被煽动一次，电影结尾时候又被煽动一次。
做到如此只手遮天的地步，这个结局只会让所有人显得更加渺小。
能有这么高的分数是因为我们也有类似的痛点。
如果能去掉乱七八糟的BGM和煽情戏份，会更好。
看到有网友说“半小时弃了”，真为他感觉惋惜，因为真正的主角真正的核心，直到1小时21分才正式开始。2小时40分钟，也担心过白费时间，但并没有。那种在一分一秒中，犹如海面涨潮一般被层层展现的真相、被慢慢堆叠的情感，在最后轰然崩塌了。
2022.7.21 真相，又是哪些人的游戏。
50分钟里塞了俩个TV版长度的故事。在这俩个故事里，夏目都变成有能力保护其他人的人了。
4.5星。反转的不错，法庭的戏很精彩，被害的女主好漂亮，后面什么意思第二部吗。印度还真是种姓制度荼毒至深的国家都能从外貌上看出来了太可怕了。大学这事原来印度也有，人性的恶真的想通。
这部影片涉及了一个国家的公检法、媒体、学校、政府等各个组织，对不受约束特权的贪污腐败，权力和利益集团的勾结，政治制度的荒唐，政党间斗争的无耻，教育的破败，制度性的社会不公，三六九等的阶级分层固化和矛盾加剧，公民权力义务和政治参与方式等等问题进行了批判和反思。
好电影！感叹印度人太敢拍了！最后法庭的辩论场面我都想站起来鼓掌了，太精彩了叭‼️感觉现在亚洲的电影，就韩国和印度的能看了😅中国电影长路漫漫啊……
《唤石》→ 猫咪老师为了喝上美酒还蛮努力的。——《可疑的访客》→ 田沼：……不过无论如何，我还挺开心的，因为我和夏目看到过同样的东西了。……
PS.印度社会矛盾真的到了这种程度了么？如果在如此大的矛盾环境下，这样的电影能拍出来并上映，那印度政府的包容性真的值得点赞。
电影让世界更美好。这片子太屌了，五星起步。
自从有政治，人就在说谎，没一个皇帝不说谎，没一个总统不说谎。在这既短暂又永恒的风云变幻中，我们要反省自己有没有作为其中的一份子，促成了这个风云变幻。电影鼓励有独立意识的人去积极行动，而不是消极等待。在这场游戏中，我们无法取胜，但某些失败强似别的失败，仅此而已。
