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.
有文化的人吵架形容对方微不足道会说like a breeze… 主要还是巴尔扎克写得好，但是也没有必要加旁白加得那么多，电影完全沦为书的附属，比起同样是名著改编的《纯真年代》差了点克制
虚荣的幻灭，新生的开始，质朴的时代，诚挚的爱情、友情，前现代时代
还不错的小说改编，通过个人生活的沉浮，展现了时代背景中文艺媒体圈的演变，不少内容还有借古讽今的意味。
surprisingly我挺惊喜的，可能因为预期比较低并且没看过原著，就像我在没看过The Great Gatsby的时候觉得改编的电影版很好一样
巴黎的新闻业√美则美矣，太过于冗长，沉浸感不够！
一个有才华充满理想的青年偶遇现实，名气、性、金钱以及来自乡下人特有的自卑，巴黎敞开着，此在沉沦着，梳起头发，对着镜子整理领口，涂起眼线，流连于谎言与背叛，性与毒品，香槟、沙龙、戏剧，侯爵夫人、烟雾缭绕的巴黎，以及塞纳河底。
我觉得很久没看到扎扎实实拍好名著的电影了，当然一部分也是归功于巴尔扎克的剧本
比预想好太多！！剧情的戏剧和细节的呼应、人物立体的塑造，加上反复的象征隐喻，把disenchantment的主题放在了几世纪前巴黎的浮华大背景，讲述了一个人不断寻求改变或被迫改变但逃不过某种执念的宿命。
Lucien本来要讽刺一本书，然而在他看完书后，说"我无法诋毁这本书，它有着力量，感情...文章inspired，sincere，never conventional."
媒体、舆论、党派…各种利益交织的巴黎，一个灵魂的堕落与幻灭
7分，太阳之下无新事，新闻行业从来都是这样一个运营规则，掌握了话语权，就掌握了操控的能力
当赤身裸体跳入清澈的湖水里时，解脱所有束缚，在自由里游荡。
非常喜欢巴尔扎克的原著，发现改编的电影自然还是要看的。拍得不算怠慢，但并没找到好一点的策略，也没什么新表达要说，就快节奏地复制小说情节，像是一个「2.5小时带你看巴尔扎克《幻灭》」的长视频。小地方的青年去大城市闯荡，媒体行业的光鲜与肮脏，梦碎的主题，这些一点也不过时，可以一看。
最后，好喜欢影片剖析的报纸 广告 政客 读者的一面，原来是有原著的
你得把来来往往的男男女女当作驿马，骑累了就放下
是精彩的，虽然拍摄得比较中规中矩，叙事靠旁白强行推进，但是巴尔扎克的作品太厉害了。洞察力，敏锐性，批判性在近两百年后的今天依旧有强烈现实意义。
也没爽到什么，开始大舅哥被爆了头，大家枪法集体失准。
感想是，不要和依然秉持当年的三观的人们混在一起...
过气演员大联欢。也许19世纪的东西真的不适合21世纪了。我们看巴尔扎克，就像剧里的人拿脏水泼的拉辛一样陈腐。想起老王说19世纪，the nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass; the nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
又一个类似于连的小镇青年来到巴黎闯荡，找情妇，找工作，忙到最后又如何。。从前不可能的，如今一一成为可能：银行家从政了，平民也可以发达了。。。天真+虚荣，害人又害己……
