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.
真好看啊，上海男女的小资情调，成年人的你来我往，红拂杂货铺，夜奔咖啡馆，不喜欢马塞洛的索菲亚罗兰……到处都是导演的小心思，这就是我最想看到的本土爱情小品啊！这个五星是冲动了点，冲动就冲动吧
以一己之力拯救了几近凋零的2021中国院线片
不过整体梗埋太多（包括导演自个儿的小趣味），又缺乏条理，使得整个片子变成了埋梗大作战。
又嗲又灵，餐桌戏台词太高能了，什么“剩饭”什么“野猫”什么“私房菜变大锅饭”，刀光剑影的同时滴水不漏。
B先生这种自在的杂家不少，现实生活里有几套房休闲做杂家的就不多了。。。
2.影片里有段倪虹洁和马伊琍吐槽男性导演/编剧的台词，我突然就想到了金庸，果然这些年被金庸笔下的女性角色带跑偏了。
原来大陆能拍出这么好笑的饮食男女片啊，简直超出我的想象了。既不沉重也不轻浮，它就是刚刚好，看了会心一笑。
邵导还是稳坐今年国产都市爱情第一的宝座了。
有种欧洲文艺片的气息，普通生活里也有画有艺术有电影。人到中年还是想交心想爱或被爱，人与人的关系也可以在不同定义之间游走，再怎么不在乎借着笑话说出来的话也可以是流泪的真心。这种生活流的群戏国产片真是稀缺，再加上沪语加持更是块瑰宝。
“这个世界上没有值不值得，只有喜不喜欢”，用朋友的话说，所有爱上海的人都会喜欢《爱情神话》
＃2022院线观影No.1
看到结尾突然就明白了加缪说他为什么能热爱生活。
✪94//第二遍看时连最初没留下美好第一印象的开场都看着顺眼，开篇后来的每段戏都有我入迷的节奏（无论表演或影像内容编排），场景灵了、机位和运镜灵了、对白也灵了，每当两个人说上话时似乎都要有好神奇的事发生：寻常生活的小麻烦在自然的谈天里渐渐走向水到渠成，偶尔冒出的矛盾慢慢已经看来不是什么大事。太喜欢角色之间好自在、几乎一根刺都不带、带刺也不扎人的交流。
都市小资文艺中年的爱情小打小闹，有群像，无大局，有嗨点，无高潮。演员用演技撑起了一些无聊的正反打镜头和对话。表达出了女性的独立和觉醒，男性的开明和窘境，但也夹杂了一些在理但不合时宜的观点输出。以至于个别内容有些突兀。配乐实在是一言难尽，根本不搭。整的像MV。
五星好评里估计大部分都是上海人或在上海生活过的人。很久没有一部电影能够那么的有上海的米道了，情调也有，爱情故事也讲得好，金句频出，插曲配乐也赞，喜欢八仙饭店的吞吐这首歌。有几帧画面拍得很有质感，李小姐一头紫发对着窗口吞云吐雾，老白拿着高跟鞋在雨中行走，那是爱情暧昧的模样。这种感觉和《志明与春娇》很像，一部港味一部沪风，都是爱情佳作。原本以为这神话讲的是老白的爱情神话，没想到是老乌的爱情神话，作为电影角色我是相信这个神话的，相信老乌讲的是真的。唯一的败笔是老白的儿子居然上海话不太会讲，虽然90后这辈上海话是有点没落了，但也不至于这么洋泾浜，黄明昊功课做的不太够啊。
很上海味，很有格调，很传奇，也很成熟，这才是华语电影里比较有意思有情趣的男男女女电影。
轻巧，温馨，无害。大都会里什么都有：男人女人混血人，像男的的女人和像女的的男人，要啥有啥，一应俱全。虚化的背景，柔化的前景，好像说了什么，又好像什么都没说，一个个儿好像是真人，但又好像不是。赵丽蓉怎么说的来着？白里透着红啊，红里透着黑。黑不溜秋，绿了吧唧儿，蓝哇哇儿地，紫不溜湫，粉嘟嘟儿地透着那个美。也许该去贺岁？也许不该。
人物和情境的打造简单高效精准，家宴和画廊两场戏太过瘾了，每句话都暗藏机锋。
