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.
（ 7 / 10 ）Janis 对 Cecilia 基因的猜忌，呼应着西班牙人民对于民族血脉和历史记忆的模糊。而 Janis 的关键转变，在于她决定不再掩盖真相，把 Cecilia 还给 Ana 。这一 “交还” 的举动，寄托着阿莫多瓦希望西班牙历史真相不再沉默，不再被篡改、被掩盖的期许。在阿莫多瓦看来，一个国家的人民，尤其是年轻一代，只有直面历史真相，才有愈合伤口的可能；只有实现对民族身份与历史记忆的确认，才算是真正走向了成熟。
就是那种，十年前在广州地王广场还是哪买盗版dvd的时候看到有眼熟的明星+看起来略有噱头的剧情介绍就顺手买回来，在一个百无聊赖的晚上看完，不好看也不难看，看完立刻忘记所有剧情，就这样度过了宁静、寡淡而平庸的一天，的那种电影。
好喜欢这个故事，喜欢这种“正常国度的理想状态”，家族史和血脉的延续有自生的力量，庄严但不哭天抢地；亲密关系建立在自尊与互相尊重的基础上，家庭是有爱的；每个人都独立，可亲，最重要的是，他们相信历史不会沉默，这种否定性的判断可以成为进步性的力量，去掀起每一寸浸血的土地。生者是骸骨，我们的儿女就是我们，历史从来不是静静向前，所有今天的沉默都是明天的先声。
Almodóvar把風情萬種的Penélope Cruz完全浪費在虛浮的自我糾結之上，兩條線平行到可以稱得上為毫無關係，這種女性被侵犯下懷孕生產在伸延到歷史層面未免太過牽強
这个走向也是神奇，原以为是一出狗血大剧，没想到回到历史上来了，真相与和解，尊严与荣耀，老导演心态平和得很啊……
依旧是很阿莫多瓦的一部电影。但实在是让我意想不到的是他居然在其中安排了Les的情节着实让我猝不及防。
7/10，大屠杀和经典女同多角恋故事的融合非常生硬，导致二者都处在高不成低不就的尴尬地位。
说了这么多两个母亲，结尾却是历史挖掘现场，女主是完全可以隐瞒真相的，但她还是说出来了，历史总有痕迹，诚实的看待过去，才能更好的抓住现在。
看在大美人克鲁兹的份上给四星吧，实则故事真是挺一般的。抱错孩子平行母亲的故事跟乱葬岗的故事无论是思想性还是情节性上关联都很弱，后面的乱葬岗也没给人很惨烈的感觉，相比之下我们民族的苦难可深重多了。
阿莫多瓦的电影再次说明，母系氏族一起养育孩子才是人类社会的出路
新生的喜悦 历史的厚度，这种叙事只有阿莫多瓦能够掌握
阿莫多瓦用几个母亲的身份审视女人们破裂/修复/重生的过程，又以发掘骸骨的事件相辅，以此来展现国家曾经的疮疤，提出铭记历史正视历史来使国家获得重生的观点。
咋后来她俩还在一起了？阿莫多瓦脑洞越来越大了。 浅金/白色短发是欧洲Les电影T的标配么
还好爱上阿莫多瓦的时候是他的巅峰期，不然没有滤镜大概只有一星
想表达的太多了，开头以为是伟大的母亲，中间又以为是独立的女性，最后直接猝不及防地上升到民族荣誉感，很可惜，都没讲好。女主到底爱谁我也是懵逼了。剧本太拉了。
不是阿莫多瓦最好的作品 但还是很感动他的女性能不停地move on
关于历史反思和伦理关系，两个主题的融合有点强硬，故事非常奇情
阿莫多瓦依然对这种奇情故事手到拈来，这次还结合了历史背景。很平行，很奇妙。
依然是很有辨识度的阿莫多瓦的个人风格，饱和度极强的色彩，令人期待的奇情，以及特点鲜明的女性视角。但是明显感觉阿大师有点老了，没以前那么先锋，奇情没那么奇了，尺度也把控的可接受范围之内，电影更是破天荒的减少个人艺术表达，与西班牙历史更多的结合，表现出一份对社会的信任感。
多给一星，阿莫多瓦终于涉及政治历史，希望以后能看到更多。
