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.
有梦，有性，有朋友，有家庭，有回忆，有马拉多纳，有《美国往事》
完全没有预料到会是这样...抽离式的记忆➕过于克制以至于平淡的节奏，剧本结构上也没有什么闪光点，不是欧洲人的话很难代入进那种情绪之中吧。虽说是私人化的影像但这也太平庸了？

不那么索伦蒂诺，也或者是题材原因而变得温柔了。与此同时的还是贯穿始终的导演的标准美学，晦涩难懂。道德伦理和时代记忆。有美感有情怀。最后一个镜头临窗而坐的少年，可以一直一直拍。
#观影手记# 2312 4.5
碎片化的叙事需要十足的耐心，但看完知道了是导演的自传，但还是没明白到底要表达什么，可能是我对那段历史不太了解。服装造型以及人物外形都太像甜茶了
——不要垮掉
倒没觉得Sorrentino想当费里尼，致敬有趣。各类生活怀旧元素的组合很生动，和反面教材Belfast比起来就感觉非常诚挚。
缺乏主题的聒噪，前后两部分割裂。一眼意大利片子，甚至比不上莫莱蒂。
Toujours à la fellinienne, mais cette fois-ci plus intime et plus sincère.
像去了趟意大利……这部真的像看了部小说一样丰富
关于回忆的电影总是非常之美，所有的画面都在呈现一种流动的特质，当往事一桩桩一件件透过影像再次在面前展开，即便是那些被美化了的细节也会变得真实起来，但遗憾的是人们已经不再有耐心在离乡的火车上看看窗外了，所以当我看到老马的上帝之手在片中扮演关键节点，后来拿坡里登顶的喜悦也只能被关闭，徒留一种惘然若失的悲伤。
个人是非常喜欢导演自传作品的，《罗马》《痛苦与荣耀》和《上帝之手》可以对比着看，跟费里尼比还是想多了。。
断断续续的看了好几天，才看完。完全不喜欢。

这几年导演拍私人电影都好好啊，我可太喜欢了。
奥斯卡电影可难看了，勉强看完了。跟老太太亲热那里太恶心了，但是老太太的睡衣真好看。
3.0。《浪蕩兒》本已算不上我喜歡的費里尼電影，更不要提索倫蒂諾用如此平庸的方式書寫自己的《浪蕩兒》。溺於主觀回憶無法自拔的作品，多半因缺乏足夠的外部審視而瑣碎無比。
乡愁类电影的创作，应该是个人化的。但电影创作的初衷或者说任务是被人观赏，与观众共情是创作者的“责任”。一味铺陈过度私人化的、对他人而言大多无法触碰与理解的记忆碎片，纵然有那不勒斯的美景相称，也如隔靴搔痒，难以直击灵魂。
跟《绝美之城》一样让人觉得很厉害，但是不是我菜。“希望·那首曲子很不错。
