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.
很有前苏联时期东欧电影的味道，虽然是“红色”题材，但不是喊口号式的，塑塑造的人物也是朴质的，不是传统的喊着“冲呀”的“大英雄”，而是有着崇高理想同时也是软弱且敏感的年轻战士。影片很好的把这种“大理想”“大时代”和“小人物“”小事件”结合起来，用超现实主义的表达代替了商业战争片的表达。文艺而质朴，实属难得。
战争很残酷，真实感爆棚，水墨泼洒中光影明灭间，自己仿佛置身于那场战争中，参与感也是极强的。
懷疑這是一部製作精良的夢女電影，帥哥卡司合集（爛人演爛人，最後下場悲慘），知道這些歷史人物最後的命運，表演還是很有緊迫感，池田屋那段混用古典樂很有意思，四個女性茶碗閒談中透露了背景信息，鏡頭的轉換也暗示了人物關係，我喜歡這段設計
厌恶司马氏给血腥历史安插温柔女性。也厌恶导演的悲情化处理。三岛由纪夫说黑泽明的人道主义是幼稚的人道主义，若伊见今之原田，黑泽或也能得到些君子固穷的赞许了。
3.5星 应该看一看的战争片 最后一幕被震撼到
人物很多，但并不杂乱，亦不赘余，即使寥寥几个镜头，也能感受到创作者为每一个角色都创作了一篇丰富的人物小传，他们有粗有细，也有留白。
近三年命题作文里的满分作文。平静，真实，尊重人性。
通过这部电影认识到“挺进师”精神，非常珍贵，是同样需要我们世代传承的高贵品格。
生存 毁灭 足足的战争的气息 烟火味 誓死报国 奋勇杀敌 嘻嘻我喜欢这种类型的 个人还是比较推荐滴
我愿意称这部电影是对革命先辈的艺术献礼！画面颜色不多，但在近乎还原真实的拍摄处理之下，尤为触动，看完真的想说那句，“如今的繁华盛世，如您所愿！”
黑白色调，压抑，对白生硬，很多唯美的镜头都蕴含着死亡。
挺进师精神不仅仅是信仰的力量凝聚，还有关于人性的抉择，更具象，更应该被记忆。
岩洞里大家开始报番号宣誓时，深深地被这种为信仰赴死的信念感打动了。
电影大量采用浙江话，这点真的很用心，身临其境地体验了浙西南革命精神这一相对冷门的创作灵感
画面很有美感，战争片还能这么拍，诗意的镜头语言绝绝子，黑白碰撞很有力量感，直击心灵了属于是。
本篇美术不错，女性角色的设定与“放置”显得可有可无。开头一上来，冈田准一扮演的土方竟然长的比近藤勇还老，有点点出戏。
7.5分。
即使有些碎，也不可避免地感觉到某种平静的悲凉
看完这部影片被挺进师的大无畏精神震撼住了，最后的血雨是对战争的洗礼，也是对我们心灵的洗礼，让我们时刻谨记革命精神，永生不忘代代传承。
主旋律电影看了那么多，这一部算是很特别的，战争片审美疲劳症被治好了。
