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.
艺术门类大融合的流媒体年代，更能看出各门艺术类型独立存在的意义。某种跨界的“壁”，不是调试视听语言、精简叙事节奏就能轻松突破的——更何况，如这般自信的“创作者”所钟爱的，就是用所谓原汁原味的懒惰挑战双边的水准。
加菲尔德在这里跟个老太太一样。
明显不如爱乐之城，音乐和舞蹈不突出，除了凡妮莎其他演员也不吸引人，故事也不算流畅。
年度观影：No 465
又一个Here's to the Fools who Dream，创意产业劝退片，其它行业毕业一直失业又何尝没有共鸣。简单的Teenpop rock和简单的主题、诉求和挣扎，但确实是林曼米三部剧唯一好听的，台上台下剧里剧外的承接也是少有的流畅自然，也真的受不了再看一遍
我有多喜欢rent和Hamilton，就有多不喜欢这个，前半段，前一大半，人物塑造看得我直皱眉头。最重要的是，作为讲音乐剧的音乐电影，它不好听啊！很不好听啊！！
本来就是想随便看看，然后放下了手机专心看完了整部电影
在很多部影视作品中，90年代总是显得如此具有悲情色彩。真的很喜欢rent的seasons of love，观剧时明明自己之前完全不知道这部剧的内容，听到这首歌时感觉全身毛孔都打开了。
这电影看的我几度哽咽，我可能是有问题了，希望是更年期，希望早点好起来。
再走一步，再走两步。没有一刻可以浪费
标准到没什么意思的电影，太过四平八稳，一切都对，都正确，但各方面都不出彩，尤其是有那么多珠玉在前的情况下。加菲最好的表演还是在《沉默》和《银湖之底》，却没获得肯定。不过鉴于今年连《玉面情魔》都能bp提名，这部的观感至少没有那么糟糕。
拔萃的歌舞片，即使毫无前置信息，也能在第一曲渐入佳境，直奔简洁鲜明的主题。电影抓住了而立之年梦想如何从清晰到成为破片的过程与精髓。不仅如此，音乐在传递年轻的视点和无处安放的情感之上，在结尾升华为燃烧生命唤醒年轻一代的艺术本质，放在现在依然具有极强的激励和反思价值。
摸不着头脑的前30分钟过去之后
我有很重要的事情没做，有谈话未完成，但我选择先把咖啡端上桌。
近期处于对加菲的少年感重新上头的时期 看什么都不重要...
观感比较套路行活儿，倒数时刻的寓意似乎中途从三十而立危机转向了生命易逝、友谊可贵等方向，AIDS的打断又让人串戏到加菲的《天使在美国》……
终于看到一部94届奥斯卡不垮的了。凡妮莎·哈金斯唱的一首歌还是不错的。
像是和哎嘛石头的某种隔空共舞，奈何歌曲实在是不怎么抓我。
虽然我不是特喜欢这么美式的音乐，一开始觉得过于激情澎湃，但整部电影其实是在用激情澎湃的音乐来庆祝一个人在有限生命里获得的伟大成就。乔恩的作品很难说不是他燃烧生命创作的，为了创作伟大的作品他甘愿过着贫寒低下的生活，这样纯粹的生命值得用最滥情最激扬的音乐赞美。
两代才子惺惺相惜的隔空致意。加菲尔德太棒了。
