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.
开头得眼神设计。回忆得拍摄效果。私人化得情感但看不明白的赌博
绝对是异质的存在。宛如脖子梗住了的摄影机，单调的注视暗示着来自内面的束缚，深深地呼应了在赌场「Play under the radar」、清教徒式地行走的算牌人的心理张力。内禀的冲突处处都感觉得到。印象比较深的是有个游泳池，非常像监控会拍成的那个样子，还有两个路人在玩水（包括有些对话拍得完全是纪录片里的访谈嘛），而男主角们所勾连的体制酷刑、体制非人道将此一切悬置为意义浇薄的「American surfaces」，是两个男人选择放逐在野的原因。同是「LED」灯，赌场代换到公园，简单而准确地表达主人公的冰释，太给力。不过结尾不知怎么赌牌不拍了，这么重要的具有技术内核的东西排除在画框外……复仇有点像黑泽清。哈迪斯扮相非常好看！
关于救赎的故事，赌场只是背景，预告片和正片是两部电影。
这苦闷下要迸发出来的能量 镜头声音节奏都喜欢。我有点儿觉得i feel you 这想法又莫名可笑。
好爱。监狱的广角镜头将人拖拽回无法自赎的罪孽中，火树银花下的牵手更显珍贵。施拉德营造出一种全程张力紧绷的危险氛围，一尘不染又屎尿血屁。由此，主角的动机更显直接，这是一种认命后不参杂质的单纯。再者，这是一部性感到极致的作品，我几度把它当作hardcore mental porn来欣赏了。Issac和谢里丹的对手戏，他俩那呼之欲出的性张力让我每分每秒都在心里大叫快搞！
《第一归正会》中的喻体：环保议题本身与救赎主题无关，因此处理得游离且荒诞，拓展出黑色幽默式的修辞；这一部里的喻体其实就是赌牌，它仍然浮于主题的表面，却被刻画得抒情又板正，最终甚至导致了电影情境的崩盘——建议把《出租车司机》忘了吧！
搞不懂女主角的存在意义，男二一个就能顶上她的作用。
像《出租车司机》一个社会边缘愤怒而忧伤的人，又像《海边的曼彻斯特》一个困在悲惨回忆中的人。有胡子的奥斯卡和没胡子的奥斯卡完全是两个人。
披着赌片皮的复仇片，老马丁几十年后又拍了部军工复合体如何吃人的片子。
怀疑Oscar这个选角是Willem在Paul眼里的莞莞类卿
无法理解这种电影在拍什么也很难理解我为什么要浪费两个小时来看这种伪赌博下的慢叙事。will的内心戏极其丰富，奥斯卡依萨克的表演特别稳，又帅又迷人。算牌人的自我救赎和轮回境遇，最后就如同开始的一脸疑惑和最后的一脸困惑一样他们对视。
深渊永远是深渊，凝视是残忍的，无论如何视而不见，它总就在那里。(没看懂、也不会再看….
Schrader donne ici une masterclass de comment filmer le vide en plaçant au centre de son film une figure évidée incarnée majestueusement par un Oscar Isaac glacial au visage presque figé inexpressif. Comme un fantôme du passé traumatisant qui hante le présent, le héro ne cesse d'errer dans des lieux publics impersonnels ambiancés par une mise en scène sèche et sidérante. Conte cruel dans une Amérique sans échappatoire ni rédemption possible.

看的时候觉得这个片儿和《第一归正会》有点像，原来一个导演。
深焦放映。虽然开头睡着了但其实没那么差，极具风格化的配乐和摄影把视线牢牢追随着男主，除了女主的演技和感情戏偶有出戏外。然而人生讽刺的就是你想救赎的对象并不接受你救赎的方式，希望用宽容和原谅解决的最后还是归结于暴力。
两个以后必得影帝桂冠的男人演了一部什么电影？
从头喊到尾的usa，最后监狱成为归宿，一边反思一边讽刺，像是没有力气了。
拯救他人可以安慰自己的创伤，然而事与愿违，选择直面才是最好的方式，片尾回到了监狱，就是自我疗愈的修行。鱼眼长镜头和结尾都是漂亮的戏，但是其它部分散而沉闷，女主这个人物比较尬。
2.5 救贖、孤獨、日記獨白、夜間流離的戲份都看得出 Taxi Driver 的影子，但Paul Schrader 始終不是 Martin Scorsese 啊
