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.
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
男主跟Ralph Fiennes都撞脸的程度了 分两段看的 说实话前面太拖沓了 剧情就像爱伦坡的小说
看一看中国互联网上遍地生长的大胃王吃播，畸形且阴森，行尸走肉一样麻木地啃噬食物，不自知表演自我伤害的同时，对自己也感到冷漠，回过头来再看陀螺此次经典翻拍，确实不太行，对吧。
陀螺一贯的让我非常舒适的审美，结尾也停在了应该的地方，细节处理和怪异血腥的呈现一如既往地精准。但是不得不说几乎完全翻拍47版让剧情毫无新意，如果不是双A设定刚好碰上了有张力的两个演员就会变成彻底的灾难。
没看过1947年的老版。这版中的30-40年代的美国，从技术层面上，摄影、美术、服化道都很有年代感且精致。影片演员阵容强大，但是时长着实是一个硬伤，且不说看过老版和了解故事的人，即使第一次看也会觉得节奏过慢，铺垫太长。过长的铺垫和缓慢的节奏一般都是为了给结尾意想不到的惊天反转增加爆发力，可惜影片前期给出了大量的线索，即使stan在经历了一切之后变成了开始自己眼中那个最“可怜”的人，这样的结局并没给观众带来多大的意外，反而觉得是意料之中的事。不过娓娓道来的故事，沉下心来看，后劲会比较大。stan是一个有梦想的“聪明人”，在跨越阶级追逐梦想的路上聪明反被聪明误，被自己的自信和野心所蒙蔽，沦丧了道德，慢慢成为自己最了解也最可怜的人。即使是《马戏之王》巴纳姆，在当时人的眼中也不过是个“戏子”。三星半
后半部分节奏把控得很好，明知道where it would go我们还是不由自主地屏住呼吸。
Not my cup of tea....
所以凯特女王和鲁妮小白兔就是个假招牌啊。其实故事不算差，也不算复杂，不知道为什么非要拍的这么死样怪气，尤其前半部分，拖沓沉闷意味不明。而且一直都不怎么喜欢布莱德利·库珀，不管是长相还是演技，都是那种不算差，但也实在不觉得有什么亮点的演员啊。
你终究还是成为了你最憎恶的人，这是个nature vs nurture，最后nature大获全胜的故事？果然看这个的都看soho惊魂，果然大家一看就知道toro喜欢马戏团戏，毕竟谁又不喜欢呢，我本来还很期待马戏团戏继续下去呢…可惜，不过故事核心确实是不错的，实在是暗黑。
原作看得我迷迷糊糊的，陀螺改编版人物造型更加多元，太适合我们脸盲患者了。geek形成了闭环，场景安排和光线色彩很有陀螺特色，但表演其实不及原作。
三星半，结局烦人反转和结尾，厉害。片名翻译的太傻了
“他”还没出生就杀死了自己的妈妈，他正青壮年却杀死了病卧在床的爸爸，每个人无论男女或多或少都和自己的父亲母亲有矛盾，不过即使再有恨意，上天也不会原谅你做了泯灭人性的事。想要重新开始，即使继续生活的很成功，上天安排的报应早晚也会来的。有些人天生就是“怪人”，有些人是后天“被逼”成怪人，无论怎样都是人性的黑暗面。陀螺的电影依然保持了自己独有的怪异特色，只是这一部确实有点冗长了，马戏团的戏过多，总时长控制在两个小时差不多合适。
其实故事是有点cliche的，但陀螺的哥特审美又一次占了上风。
在团里的几个形象角色形成闭环
7.7，受伤的心灵，扭曲变形带来的事故，成为故事
字幕是机翻看得囫囵吞枣 整体观感又懒得再去找（或等）正确字幕重看了 几处有疑问的地方就这样吧 卡司强大有惊喜
这什么倒霉译名？ 铺陈介乎到位与不到位之间 结尾无惊喜
这不就是资本主义工厂的“教父”吗？结尾又讽刺又真实。看哈维尔·巴登演“好”老板还蛮不习惯的，总感觉下一秒他就会拿气枪爆人脑袋...
但两者偏偏凑到一起，以至于两个半小时的片长似乎依然没找到好的着力点，浅白平淡之余让人直呼可惜……
《昨天》里面贾宏声承认自己没有外国血统，我觉得悲怆；这部片中他承认自己born for it，我只觉得滑稽。
