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.
妮可基德曼每次把容貌抛掉都有惊喜出现 这一次比弗吉尼亚伍尔夫更气定神闲更轻松自如 老套的好莱坞燃情往事肉眼可见的苦心经营的故事 结尾落的漂漂亮亮 只是我与梦露的一周 那样唯美温暖的涓涓细流 是很难超越的传记片天花板了 就一个共同点 女演员超优秀
在当今流行的女权或者说女性主义里，相当多的作品是以一种男女对立甚至是男性犯罪的角度来描绘的。鲍尔有才又有勇，尤其是在丈夫帮她解决“共产主义分子”身份时，她还是冷静克制的直面丈夫，告诉他自己发现了他出轨的事实。在那个年代里，女性的能力无法得到完全展现，就如同她改的未播出剧情，但在婚姻中，决不妥协。
就电影而言真的又烂又长，妮可基德曼确实把女人的歇斯底里与神经质都拍出来了，问题是真的很难看
一个不会吸引广泛观众群的题材。就靠Sorkin的节奏和角色性格展示了。3.7星。
基德曼超神了，和JK的戏最舒服，恭喜基德曼女士走出舒适圈。来了一次让粉丝过瘾的戏
聚焦五十年代最火的电视剧《我爱露西》，更多探讨Ball的婚姻问题，其背后又是一部“好莱坞往事”。
"I navigate male egos for living." 最后那场忘词戏啊真的是伤到了（妮可真的演出新高度，本来还以为肉毒杆菌打多了会影响演戏，结果竟然是今年颁奖季最自然细腻的一场演出
除了七零八碎的时间线外都很精彩。以及，所谓Male ego不过只是爱你不如爱自己。
p.s.21年的《曼克》，20年的《好莱坞往事》，19年的《一个明星的诞生》，最近几年的奥斯卡实在太爱倾诉娱乐圈里的苦，有点矫情了。
最后那一场戏还是很打动人的，也是nicole整部电影演的最好的一moment，那一瞬间一定所有人都想知道她在想什么，可惜，虽然我们都能感受到，但是我们却都说不出
很丰富的电影，以为是讲述我爱露西的传记故事，事实如此，但不只是故事，将lucile的一生浓缩在这一周内发生的事，典型的危机-解决思路，其中闪回着她的成长、爱情、事业的开始，夹杂着麦卡锡主义、早期电视的发展、女性发展的困境等议题，直至今天事业濒临失败，家庭也奄奄一息。很有梗，但还是略显冗长，喜欢最后一刻她的失神，强大了一辈子的lucile的不由自主时刻，暴露出了柔软的自己，然而回过神来，现实还是如此，仍旧要演无脑喜剧，面对无脑丈夫，可悲。ps：妮可的妆真的太不贴脸了，看着很僵硬，与其如此不如换个人演了….
所有的铺垫都是为了结尾的片刻失神和没有改变的剧本。
原本以为全片会围绕着Lucille Ball的“共产主义”倾向展开论述和思辨，结果开头点一下，结尾回一下(拉出个胡佛背书)，就这样……？
“嘴上谈的是主义，心里想的是生意”，男女性别、婚姻家庭、事业危机、万尼亚舅舅……上到冷战意识形态之争，下到狗血家庭抓马，中间还有一条鸡零狗碎的荧屏剥削史，情节丰富到令人发指，艾伦·索金杂耍式的编剧整合，终于有一次完美调和了话痨和感情留白。结果连个奥斯卡原创编剧提名都不配吗？奥斯卡，how dare you！
对这部久负盛名的电视剧早就有所耳闻，但本片的角度和剧情还是无法吸引我，看完有种不知道自己看了个啥的感觉
没想象中难看但槽点依然很多。剧本又是炫技流，结构繁而不乱，通共和出轨两个事件从爆发到结束是明线，其中穿插同一时间线上的ILL拍摄创作日常，再穿插两人过往闪回，最后也收得很干净。表演：俩主角妆造没区分过去时和现在时，青年中年一个样；NK模仿的是Ball的老年音色，她年轻时声音没哑成这样好么；JB没有强行模仿效果反而还好，歌唱得也不错，虽然没有哪里像Desi。这片的最大问题是它的大女主视角和ILL相关史实矛盾的无法调和，比如苍白地让Ball在台词中反复强调Desi的主导地位却让Desi在后半部分隐形；强行抬高Ball的创作才能并把ILL的三位编剧塑造成白痴；Vance和Frawley也沦为反映女主不同面的工具人……问题这片名也不是大女主戏。
妮可老了，眼角已经布上皱纹 巴登胖了，身子已经大腹便便 曾经的男神女神已经开始用演技吃饭了，现在都流行差异化秀演技，艾伦索金的剧本又给他们冲击小金人加了分
就这无聊的剧本，索金不会指望有人一遍看不明白还看第二遍吧…
Nicole Kidman 的脸到底是怎么了？一度以为她为了接近原型而化了特效妆
果然是索金，一开始完全跟不上的信息量和讥巧，甚至看不懂，有些不理解女主。后面一层层一遍遍加深拓开，到结尾我大为震撼。home和屋子对于女主的意义让我想到旺达…妮可基德曼确实演得好，观看时常有“哇这也撑得住演得太好了”的感慨。
