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.
OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！
女机长好有魅力，歌没那么洗脑，很美式，get到了音乐剧的魅力
上帝为阻止人类团结共筑巴别塔，创造了不同语言，然而却又用共同编码的圣经，打破了自己打造的藩篱。
20年了，这群像剧的切入视角真的不错，彷佛完全没有关系的地方和人们。以及我隐约想起疫情之前好像来过上海巡演？？没去看真是太遗憾了TAT
这就20年，用音乐剧的方式去呈现，有一种悲中带喜的力量。
疫情解封后的百老汇音乐剧+911 20周年纪念让这部作品天然意义非凡，相比《汉密尔顿》讲述美国国父背后的男人的丰功伟绩，《来自远方》展现了加拿大纽芬兰岛民的力量与善意，it's a celebration of humanity，这是对普通人的赞歌。
Sex is amazing! Enjoy ourselves!学会接纳自己什么时候都不晚。不知道是不是一部话剧改编的电影，简单的场景与运镜，多数是靠台词支撑，真的更考验编剧的能力，还好撑住了。四次会面中间部分有点boring.但最后一段在咖啡馆艾玛的独白真的是让我泪目。PS：独居人士看完有点春心荡漾。虽然小伙子永远不是我的菜
几个印象深刻的地方： ①关于真实边界的冲突，leo的愤怒 ② shaved.即使往坦荡迈了一大步，it's still shaved! ③ pay taxes on her earnings
最后的几分钟有点意思。高端鸭。我更希望这一切都是男主预料之中的，包括争吵以及和他弟弟坦白并告诉女主，目的就是引起女主的共鸣而最后达到高潮。这或许也是他热爱这份工作的成就感。
室内剧，对于中年女性的“性羞耻”以及女性身材焦虑的探讨都太流于表面，不过当喜剧看看尚可，汤普森阿姨贡献了较高水准的演技.60/100
一部让人舒服、给人安全感的电影，即便有看似挑战的话题下，叙事策略依然在“治愈”的思路上不停探索衰老的欲望，和人生的意义。

几个人，一个舞台，几把椅子，表演出了地球村的感觉，回到那个充满关怀和温暖的年代，美中不足是没有亚裔的演员，少了点什么
前一小时，觉得题材挺有趣，话题也挺有趣，觉得是一部包装成有噱头的浪漫轻喜剧，后半小时急转直下变成了常规化的亲情和解题材，加上结局的超级无聊，立马感受变成了3星。可以想象这在中国如果被报道会有多耸动的大字标题，可以明晰现实中这样展开的不可能性。仍然感谢有人愿意耐心用心真心与一个中老年女性谈心了解其需求，满足其欲望，也希望女性无论什么年纪，都能更爱自己，更关心自己，在不违背道义伦理等基本框架的基础上，取悦自己，活出自己想要的人生。
音乐这种东西真的很能够拉扯人的情绪，每次看到这样的电影版音乐剧就总想去现场看看，毕竟隔着屏幕看就已经足够震撼。911事件是沉重的悲伤的，而故事就设定在刚发生了这个事件之后的一个加拿大小镇上，但剧作没有让观众完全沉浸在悲痛中，在这之中时不时加点小幽默或人与人的情感链接，真让我体验了一次悲喜交加。整个剧作的歌曲和编排都很完美，通过灯光的颜色来切换场景，演员们也都是一人分饰n角（n≥2），以服装动作神态语气来切换角色，太强大了，我还是到差不多最后面才发现原来中东人阿里和凯文0是同一个人，水平之高毋庸置疑。剧作特别聚焦到这样一个小镇上，将恐怖事件与小镇人的热情作对比，人性的善与恶两个极端冲突，摆在观众面前，批判恶的同时不忘宣扬美。人们抱团取暖，由此促成的一世友谊，异地爱情实在令人感动。
一部关于爱、欲、和满足的喜剧片。艾玛·汤普森饰演的55岁寡妇Nancy Stokes迫切渴望冒险、人类联结和性，渴望她人生中第一次很棒的性爱。丈夫Robert给了她住宅、家庭和看起来像样的生活，然而他已经走了，如今Nancy觉得“连有些修女都比我性生活更 丰富”，她一向是行动派，且当过老师，相当有条理，于是她马上开始实施计划：做了一些研究之后，Nancy雇佣了一个20岁出头的性心理治疗师Leo Grande，准备重启对自己身体的认识。
他提供的一次服务，不仅是肉体上的满足，还有情绪价值和身心愉悦。谁不想要呢？
节奏很紧凑，在一个小空间内能把一个互帮互助的紧急事件演的幽默又感动。
20 years. Still remember every minute of that morning. This is recorded from live theater. Fantastic acting.
我们不需要性产业合法，而是需要没有性病的世界。资本主义世界已发展到女人要为愉快的性爱付钱埋单了吗。 如果我五十岁/三十岁後仍无性爱会如何？
