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.
6/10。看开头就知道是我不会喜欢的音乐剧片了，而且这类电影在豆瓣都是高分好神奇。喜欢同年的《身在高地》，俗人只爱看五彩斑斓的唱跳。有一场女生唱段给我口型对不上的感觉。电影与音乐剧的结合，弊大于利。
心のほのほ 消えぬ間に，
可能是这类故事我真的看太多了，不管有多喜欢seasons of love，对这部的感受也只是一般【当然有的歌还是不错的】
作为传记片来说，形体和表达方式其实非常一般，加菲尽最大的能力在复刻和诠释乔纳森·拉森的半生。胜在情感真挚和每一首音乐都很好听。从默默无名再到生活撂倒，见证一个一个朋友的离去，巨大的声音摧毁了他。加菲的表演很好，好几场戏有闪光。更多的情况我会觉得乔纳森的一生就像胡波，他们都是被锯断腿的大象，一个是无奈而死，后则是无奈而生。音乐电影的魅力就是享受当下，活在当下，足矣。/记忆衰退，毫无感觉。
超保守价值观🥵+二流电视剧拍摄手法......急需补一部肯洛奇
Andrew Garfield唱歌还蛮好听嗷，不过再过两年感觉他的脸就要彻底松了。台词真的是，太絮叨。
前半剪辑节奏有点凌乱无法入戏，后半渐入佳境
大型音乐剧，剪辑非常棒。吵架分手的时候心里还想着怎么写成歌，太真实了。。
虽然看过第一部，但我是直到结尾才分清角色。这部剧的人际关系，其中的浪漫，奢华，高雅可能对女生比较有吸引力，我后排两个女生对于剧中几位女性的讥笑、嘲讽、阴阳怪气，能给出很灵敏准确的反应，很吃年老后拿着定情信物回忆过往这一套。我对剧中人物的表现也有几个比较深刻的印象，只是整体上比较迟钝。我更感兴趣的是这个电影呈现的知识点，英国仆人的骄傲，英法庄园的差异，英国人到法国度假的生活方式，电影从无声到有声的历程，有声电影的制作。更有趣的是我发现仆人们是在地下室的餐桌上也很严肃的吃饭，最后因为一场戏能像主人一样在坐在大餐厅的餐桌上。大家听莫斯利求婚很浪漫，告别老奶奶很伤感。
年度最佳音乐剧电影！10年度最佳音乐剧电影！20年度最佳音乐剧电影！LMM我再次感受到了你的爱和努力和才华！我们有你真是幸运！
年度十佳加一，很难不喜欢歌好听的电影。虽然我并不认识电影主角的原型，但是也被加菲的表演所感染。实在是太好听，渐入佳境如同时钟倒数，滴答滴答，生活催促着你做出改变，你想坚守梦想，但是身边挚爱一个接着一个离去。你想创作属于自己的作品，但是时代并不会迁就你。而有时候当你离去，我们才明白你作品中超越这个时代的特质
电影中那首几乎磨死乔纳森的金曲《胜于话语》里，创作者问到，“恐惧还是爱？别说出答案。”
艺术源于生活，又高于生活，普通人最怕那些让人看不懂的高于生活。导演把电影分成三个维度表达，生活表达灵感来源，舞台剧表达高于生活的展示，坐在台上的娓娓道来恰如其分的把两部分缝到一起，即超越了舞台剧的限制，又增加了电影的表达边界。咖啡馆一幕把电影布景推开变成舞台剧，处处皆有此种别样风情。最喜欢的一幕是no more，配合现代舞编排，那真的是我们第一次拥有独立生活空间的欢欣雀跃。很多生活灵感的记录，让我想起冬天我的厨房，阳光撒下，我特别想这样歌舞起来，它接近人的本能。最可贵的是它又兼有讽刺跟幽默，panel一幕那位口吐芬芳半句不离音乐理论跟分类的乐评人，几乎是豆瓣评论家们了，即幽默风趣又让人感慨，为什么乐评人就要理论向呢。整部电影着重表达生活灵感，就是告诉大家艺术之美，处处皆是生活的点滴。
再看，无论什么剧情，无论什么表演，看的就只有情怀了。
加菲有追求，有前途～ 虽然现在看着还有点像表演工作室的学生…故事好美，每一个Jon人生中的时刻都牵动人心，但LMM这种快剪真的是看着好难受…可能老了受不了这么多又晃又快切的镜头。这是theatre没法剪辑后遗症么，能拍电影了就疯狂切镜头？
口水歌真不好听，故事线和情感线毫无波澜，技法一般，言之无物，题材吃香是唯一的亮点吧。加菲猫煽情起来，他不尴尬，别人很尴尬。
The end of an old age. The beginning of a new era!
使用音乐剧作为全片载体是对原型的最大尊重，重要的是首首好听。
「音樂劇」部分密集但印象深的音樂卻不多；「電影」部分的劇情和拍法都乏善可陳，ending的友情線高潮顯然比整部戲的愛情戲要可觀得多。整部戲主要靠剪輯上舞台與戲劇的對切塑造節奏，相信做成舞台劇其實會更有感染力。
滴答，滴答……嘣！
