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.
像是在翻QQ相册或博客，一个情绪向短片的内容水了一部电影的长度。
2021年日本爱情电影里的押井守（同《花束般的恋爱》）、《燕尾蝶》的剧场海报和信封（四舍五入就是家族共演）以及《彗星》伴奏下2020年晚八点日本东京的回溯巡游（新冠疫情时代的某个侧面，仿佛进入宵禁般无人的街头巷道，唯有远处高空的大楼灯光还暗示着人类存在）。倒叙结构的青春往事，在年代数字标号里见证某些物件、宣言、承诺、爱好、温存、情绪的变迁，还有轻小说和青春漫画最爱探讨的“普通”之定义，用一种极其迎合年轻的方式拍出来。
夜晚的出租車，回憶一幕幕打開，倒退，遠方一定有光亮，你說。我懷念你，想念過去，可人生，就是不斷往前走，繼續成為普通的大人。
一个人真的会经历很多很多很多，想成为自己想要的自己也真的很难很难很难
真的很普通，亦或许是睥睨生活，亦或许是无奈自嘲。电影对于自己产生了很大的共鸣，我曾经和香织说过同样的话，或许有感染他人吧，唯一不同是自己未挣扎就选择了躺平，回溯时光唯一剩下的就是那点碎碎念，不过话说回来这种丧感，我还是很喜欢的!(ps:从抖音主播 宠物观影日 那里了解到这部电影的。)
没大看懂电影想表达什么。慢慢接受自己变得普通？不，我不认为自己普通，工作上收敛光芒，生活里独一无二，我的世界里只有我，是不是“普通”有什么关系？
我不是怕普通
eddy觉得也许可以疗愈我于是推荐我 虽然并不觉得有什么亮眼的 想了想可能是我还没长大
唉好容易吃这一套，无法抗拒的时间过去自己无限停留在某些节点无法长大。
整个故事还是有些过于规整了，和主角常说的一样，「普通」。从现在回到过去，发际线也逐渐恢复，青涩的时光还蛮有内味儿的。最后还是让我们坐上出租，回到现实吧，不过倒是也可以在中途稍作休息，有些东西还是没有改变的嘛～
虽然有很多我想说的话，关于无法成为大人，关于太普通了，关于成佛的文字。但拍的不喜欢，丧的又不彻底，快乐的回忆也快乐不起来，最来电的反倒是醉后一夜情的俩人，越往后看越难受。
现在的我已经觉得“普通”挺好了。。。流水线垃圾瘪三没有烦恼。。。
为什么要这么说，
那么，你又成为了怎样的大人？
普通得，久久没办法呼吸。
没有人能在黑夜里跑过时间，但天亮后都会走出去的。
站在“现在”的视角，回忆确实是在倒叙，就很妙，用正叙重点就变成了一个人的一生，少了无力感。片尾曲结束后字幕删除了无法成为，再也没有重新打上什么，又是点睛之笔，一下明白了创作者的用意。可惜我们终将会成为大人，其实我们都无法成为大人
能够感到森导演作为一个年轻的新生代导演，非常的谦虚。
年轻的时候拒绝普通 后来发现 大家都终归普通。倒叙的电影真美好 越来越年轻越来越美好。森山未来演20、30、40都毫无违和感，厉害。
姑且以为这是一个关乎回忆的电影，普通的一生处理起来很清淡。后来的奔跑似乎要把时间抓向自己一边，再怎么努力也回不去了。一直奔跑，也只是不断向前而已。想停下，想回去，不想长大，于是在这个过程慢慢变老。
