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.
战争的残酷已经不需要用血腥的厮杀、猩红的血迹来表述了，哪怕是在这种酷似老胶片质感的黑白画风中仍能感受到最深刻的惨烈。
素人演员阵容搭配大面积的昏暗场景，以至于在最终都没有搞清楚角色之间谁究竟是谁，算是“诗意”风格的追求之余，在“看懂故事”方面做出的牺牲，也注定了本片对影迷以外的路人观众会有些不友好。
啥玩意，画面都快看不清了。这方言对话，像湖南，又有点像江浙，快分裂了～
战斗逻辑混乱，人物不清不楚，类似气质的欧洲战争片不算少数，基础不搭好玩形式更加灾难，最致命的还是后期让其他人配音，口型不对，声音不对，非常出戏
突破了主旋律电影的固有审美，给敢于“吃螃蟹”创作精神点赞。
印象里有几个天马行空的设计，但看到最后也没琢磨明白。
简直是噩梦，电影院本来就不比电脑手机屏幕，偏暗，还黑白电影，大多场景又是夜晚，又多雾，谁是谁都分不清，只能看见个人影，费劲！
没想象中那么风格化，反而很接近末世求生电影的类型架构。对白皆方言，然而也都是后期由专人配音的；吴、湘方言大概能听出来，别的不好说，但我总觉得讲不同方言的人能对话挺奇怪的。显然比较出色的部分一个在开篇，从先声夺人到长镜结束，虽然抖得不行，但让我印象深刻；另一处是洪队在悲伤与高压之下，于林中陷入幻觉，草木皆兵，做出了《恐怖游轮》的既视感。总体上形式与内容割裂较大，我常觉得创作者醉心于江南风光而忘记了文本为何。头一回听说“挺进师”，作为浙江人还是挺骄傲的。
但为了方言用配音不对口型就不行了，我很反感不对口型的配音，老老实实让演员学方言不行，演员基本素养吧。
浙江省宣的订制作品。对战争的思考深度别说王毛杀生了，集结号都不如。形式感来自低饱和调色，低照度打光，手持跟拍和方言素人，学院派的电视电影，那也是电视电影啊。
总体来说形式大于内核。不愧是美院作品，摄影上之压抑与孤寂全通过灰调、枯树、云烟、死水展现出来了，服装妆容也能算合格，倒是把年代和气氛勾画出来了，运镜一搞变焦就感觉很现代，与所谓之东方诗意美学总感觉相悖。故事很简单，想讨论奉献、挣扎与牺牲，但人物没有事件的堆叠就没有情感的积累，共情不足。但好歹是主旋律的小进步吧。
形式大于内容的典型，剧本太差了以致于对故事和人物几乎没留下什么印象
黑白片不像黑白，彩色片不像彩色，故事讲的也乱糟糟
但是片尾这里必须活！
美术确实不错。这样拍，可以，但没必要，形式大于内容，体验一下无妨，就是觉得电影院里放不如去美术展上放。总之就是不好看，感受也不深
就电影而言并不出彩，就像是在看上个世纪的黑白胶片电影，不过是高清版的。“十分”是为了致敬故事里牺牲掉的那些浙江人，那些在革命路上牺牲掉的中国人。🫡
后面噼里啪啦的牺牲和不知所云的摄影，笑笑就好。
深影5号厅银幕右侧十分之一明显更亮，观影感极差。
看这片的时候满脑子想的都是前两天和地方政府谈的那个片子，同样的预算同样的摆，搁这胡求拍呢嘛，视听语言毫无章法，场场戏都在跑，强调任务但任务执行不清晰，在不明觉厉的地方强调，把本该加强的地方漏掉。剪辑总在你完全无法意料的地方跳进跳出。摄影很美，但还是得静帧，个别场景找得很好，但有些场景还可以更好，更完美，但那场日拍夜，实在看得难受，而且居然特么还能跑焦？跑那么久还不止一次？。这些和地方政府合作公费拍片的，总是不够勤快，摄影可以更好、剧本可以更好、试听可以更好、景也可以找得更好，就是不做，就是懒得做，导演在自己哪家电影厂里和老艺术家们高唱艺术颂歌，就是搞不明白怎么拍片子，别拿没钱当借口，这片子还行，至少它还能拍出来，狗日的地方政府休想再坑我一回！
2021年北影节的天坛奖，其他入围电影都在讲故事，只有这片是在展示学院派美学。人物、剧情、台词都不仅仅是白描了，直接简笔画勾勒，寥寥几笔画出全片架构，然后就是各种美学意义浓厚的镜头画面：潜水渡河，以及最后的血色染红黑白画面都很绝。
