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.
保持阿莫多瓦一贯水准下的艳丽色彩搭配新奇故事，把人与人之间的情欲纠葛拍的那么的奇特与浪漫，脑洞大开的表现两个单亲母亲（后面成了情侣）面对既是各自又是彼此的孩子时的惊讶诧异和不可名状，甚至带一点惊悚与讽刺。还破格加入了西班牙惨痛血腥的历史政治议题，虽首尾呼应，也穿插于电影剧情中，但与电影整体氛围还是稍显割裂。毕竟两个女人一台戏更刺激更好看。当然也看到了导演对女性权益（单亲母亲的艰难困苦、女性遭遇侵犯时的恐惧无助）的自我表达，表现了对女性群体的关注。这一点确实也很政治正确，但不讨人嫌，毕竟导演功底深厚，拍的还是很好看的。佩内洛普科鲁兹的演技也是没的说，很精湛，演绎一位单亲母亲也是游刃有余，不出戏，很好看，就是不知能否捧回一座小金人？电影四星推荐！
这些netflix巨制就像华丽的糖纸包着最廉价的巧克力，如果本身就是小打小闹可能还看不出来，一试图做大就各种露怯，从历史的角度来看的话，希望还是活不长久的。希望高司令多多出演动作片！
有点疑惑女主角知道孩子错换以后，却没有马上想换回的心情，虽然之间培养了情感，毕竟才是一个几个月大的婴儿，情感深到胜过血缘？不是很明白。等她想明白时却又换不回来了，最后还是她自己失去了孩子。孩子身份的故事和开头她和男友为了父亲那一辈的最后的命运来个证明的那个故事似乎有关联，涉及到身份问题，多少年过去要有真相要有说法，两者之间似乎对应不是很明显。总之很一般的一部电影。
将过去和现在元素强凑其实不怎么样，但说实话单线的悬念还是很不错的
阿嬷的电影从来震撼我的就是这一点。那爱太TM排山倒海了，让人猝不及防，连价值观都挡不住了。虽然我还是很想抽那些丫的们，可是，想想自己不够强大的当年，是多么需要这样无差别的黏腻腻的爱呀。
看这死胖子的电影很多年，从少年到大叔，从少年时代似懂非懂大受震撼；到大叔喝酒看片，边看边骂，乃至多喝了三五碗，最后仍是给了高分。
咋后来她俩还在一起了？阿莫多瓦脑洞越来越大了。 浅金/白色短发是欧洲Les电影T的标配么
熟悉的阿莫多瓦，熟悉的莫兰迪，熟悉的女性主题…全片只有一个男性人物。但串联起历史变迁下对女性主义延续性和存在性的赞扬。失败的地方是剧情的割裂，孩子和考古像是在看两部电影。
就随便拍些俗套剧情再加上历史反思就能升华呗，拍的什么玩意？
Almodóvar把風情萬種的Penélope Cruz完全浪費在虛浮的自我糾結之上，兩條線平行到可以稱得上為毫無關係，這種女性被侵犯下懷孕生產在伸延到歷史層面未免太過牽強
“母亲”是阿莫多瓦电影里永恒的主题之一，近些年更是有很多相关方面的表达。影片把母亲和战争这两个看似是对立面的元素结合起来，融入鲜明的政治倾向，并把“狗血”的故事尽量平淡地讲述出来，最后上升到人性的关怀和温度，留下长久、弥散的韵味，《平行母亲》或许不是阿莫多瓦最好的作品之一，但绝对是当下需要的那种作品，它能够把历史和现实拥抱在一起，在“平行”的语境下，相互关照，深深融合。
当他们凝视这片土地，他们凝视的是历史的深渊，“只要我们没完成这件事，战争就还没结束”。音乐和色彩一如既往的出彩，虽然故事没有很多惊喜，但是不妨碍我大呼阿莫多瓦nb！
他电影里的女性角色永远如此鲜活。历史和未来的连接，个人与社会的对应，被嵌在一个依旧狗血离奇的故事里。剧情发展缺乏新意，但在影院观看时依然非常享受。为Penelope Cruz的演出加了一星。
3.那个活着的孩子父亲闭环没下文。
无论是私人感情还是家国历史，阿莫多瓦这次都没打动我。
3.5 女性意识在道德伦理层面下是感性体，一个拥抱化解，我们躺祥在真相的废土上，愿和平愿自由~
人老了之后总爱频频回头，向先人求索解决当下痛苦的良方。立意上可以说是阿莫多瓦的《一一》，但显然他并没有驾驭这么深刻宏大题材的能力。
“We should all be feminists.” “无声的历史并不存在。”
高斯林居然还敢去曼谷，你忘记自己上一次在那儿差点没被维他亚·潘斯林加姆打成猪头了吗？
当他们凝视这片土地，他们凝视的是历史的深渊，“只要我们没完成这件事，战争就还没结束”。音乐和色彩一如既往的出彩，虽然故事没有很多惊喜，但是不妨碍我大呼阿莫多瓦nb！
