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.
熟悉的艾伦索金味道，高密度台词+政治题材，法庭上的唇枪舌战，配合着事件回顾和真实影像的蒙太奇，看得人确实很激动

前几天刚听了美国出兵越南的那段历史，对这部影片的理解能更深一点。叙事方式和节奏特别好，棕黄与深黑的色调契合那个年代，也符合影片所表达的主题。萨莎拜伦科恩太牛哔了！一个高逼格拧巴喜剧片演员，也能吼住这种严肃题材和复杂角色，且毫不费力，还入木三分，瑞思拜！如果说开场看到他我还下意识笑出来的话，到了影片中段我已经完全被“艾比”这个人物抓住了。混不吝、吊儿郎当的外表下，其实是一个有着甚至可以说过于理想化的政治追求，并富有深厚政治积淀的灵魂，只是他的性格不屑与这世俗秩序为伍，否则他可能是个政治家，虽然很大程度上可能是悲剧性的。影视作品也负有反思历史的责任。
在细节上丰盈充沛，在主题上却直接干脆。弗兰克·兰格拉饰演的那个情绪化又不称职的大法官，甚至颇有些暗讽特朗普的意思。
are we allowed to talk about it?
其实这部在柯南系列里面算是超高质量了，案件合理，而且注重感情线，相信不少人看柯南也都是追这条线吧，看到自己想看到的剧情，真是激动，五星高分，这部剧值得拥有。
那個時期青年反抗運動的訴求在於，不希望看到同胞們為了當政者的意識形態，而去參與一個不屬於公平正義、不屬於維護自己國家安全、不知為何而戰的戰爭行為，當然還有更重要的……Make Love Not War。
电影表现方式能激荡人心。而故事本身再一次证明百无一用是书生，情绪不稳，易被煽动
就是那种典型的无感但是又不得不四星的电影。看的过程中，一直在惦记还没有看完的那几个姐弟恋的剧。是很索金啦！表白萨莎拜伦科恩！最后the whole world is watching~！
一次取巧，它宣扬的，不过如此。很多技巧都太典型，以至于我拒绝被它洗脑。
是否存在一个民权运动电影的现象？《芝加哥七君子审判》是目前看到最成熟的，无论是叙事线把握整合的能力还是煽情的能力（沉默与暴力的对接是最显见的精彩剪辑），奇怪的是，要为这类电影做一个精彩的收尾莫非真是一件难事？太泄气了
虽然我对我们社会的一些欲盖弥彰也不是很赞同 但是真心觉得天下乌鸦一般黑 结合今天发生的事也没觉得民主自由就好多少 都是闹剧一场

自由和权利之间的抗争是个永远不会结束的死循环。
当然，政治官司暗藏了许多猫腻，不仅仅是美国的陪审团制度就能左右，1960年代的反越游行，夹杂了美国底层阶级各色各样的人物表演。
艾伦索金编导，台词蒙太奇，对白插画面，语言暴力片。7.4
夏虫不可语冰。他们拥有我们所没有的，所以最后一幕的读名激荡人心。不怕这片像某些电影一样消失。因为“全世界都在看！”
"The whole world is watching."剪辑和节奏太棒了，对揉杂私人恩怨体制的无情讽刺。特别是发现曾经的"队友"实际上是伪装的政府人员，在原告席位作证，讽刺说可能游行队伍的一万人都是便衣警察。
这个世界需要反抗和不同的声音，需要我们动脑去实现真正的民主和自由。哪怕反抗在“公平公正”面前一文不值，但是也依旧需要批判这个依旧病态的社会。
