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.
要勇敢诚实的面对你自己。艾玛汤普森演技绝了
做只鸡做只鸭别做情人，花钱买的至少可爱迷人。

这部应该是今年以来最喜欢的电影了！说是女性觉醒有点点局限 其实更像是两个陌生人之间的phase link且互相治愈的过程。男主真的好可爱 声音也令人安静 又很耐心地等待与倾听 去引导去缓释去深入都是水到渠成 更重要的是他让女主发现直面自身的欲望是不该成为羞耻的事情 去欣赏自己取悦自己也没有错。女主恰好是母亲 因而以母亲身份的共情能够让男主直面自己与他母亲和家人的关系 认可自己的能力和职业。这种陌生人之间互相短暂令对方更完整地步入next stage真是我最喜欢的感情之一了！
人生的痛苦岂是几场与陌生人的性事就解决得了的。
故事设定很棒，55岁寡妇点鸭子，四次见面，先谈天说地再上天入地。可是作为一部话痨电影来看，大段大段的台词太不精彩了，让我疑惑到底什么时候才到正题，什么时候才能不要说那么多废话。结局象征意义很大，解放欲望，解放身体，是很多女人的重要命题。
这是一具躯体，年轻或衰老，健壮或瘦弱或肥胖。
四次递进的交谈，一次非进入式的高潮。性的美妙在于它发生的整个过程。那些令人心颤的，仿佛沐浴在温暖的海水里的摇曳，那个自由自在，丢弃羞耻感的瞬间，将人推到浪尖……
靠本事赚钱没什么不好的。
感觉男主演了个女性幻想中的理想型男菩萨；角色性转一下这故事会被骂死吧）
PS. 电影看到三分之一处就决定看完要推荐给两个好友，而电影最后Nancy也向她觉得真正有需求的好友推荐了Leo哈哈。
塑造出完美的“性幻想”，以此为切入口探讨我们身上的束缚、本能、救赎欲、控制欲，所有一切我们认为可以通过外在的某物实现的人生满足心魔其实都在于自我接纳的困扰。电影以猎奇和欲望引入，最后还是归于学院派般的存在主义讨论倾向，枝桠工整之余少了点意外。
即使是构建的屏幕乌托邦，现实如果能朝向它迈出小小的一步也很棒啊。感觉就像一桶火药，等待着火焰的到来。～
Whoa, whoa, whoa
虽然标签是情色，但其实只是用了一个最直白最原始的方式来展现两人的成长。剧本很好，单场景下依靠对话支撑起全片，一点也不沉闷，由性生情，从个人到家庭，由性别到年龄，从出身到理想，由焦虑到满足，而通过一场场无比坦诚的交流后，对身体的探索得到的却是灵魂的升华，两人都完成了救赎，也在最后的性高潮后能够更加坦然地面对真实的自己。8.1
表面上看似乎在讲中老年女性对于爱欲的向往，曾经迎合丈夫的假装，永远无法达到的高潮，对青春期希腊记忆的念念不忘，她将性愿望清单寄托到了拥有年轻肉体还能制造隐秘幻想的性治疗师身上，然而为人师表的一世安分让她产生了罪恶感，她矛盾的渴望着骑马穿越沙漠，又自我囚禁在母亲的身份里，而两人真正从肉体到心灵的交欢后，她终于发现性爱并不可耻，曾经骂那些穿着短裙的学生荡妇也并不是保护，不该用上一代的思想去看这一代的人，这也恰巧是里奥与母亲、她与儿女间所面临的困境，而让生活能够高潮的本质首先要正视自己，哪怕岁月已老，芳华不在
还可以，剧本没有很飞略失望，主要探讨的内容有点老生常谈，而且比较浅，真的就是“why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? ”似乎更像是上代人的回溯，不过艾玛的角色也让我对处于中年又为人父母的女性有了一丢丢新的认识，一种紧张与焦虑。男主眼睛蛮好看，这种水准的服务还要啥心理咨询啊。
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
片子给我的整体感觉就是特别的干净，直接体现在画面上。
有种尺度更大一点牛郎版爱在系列电影的感觉，单纯的就两个角色，在很小的空间里发生一个简单的故事。如果电影故事没有用三次约会，而是用一次约会就深化所有的主题，这样会更厉害。当然让一个55岁的宗教学老师去一步一步面对自己的欲望，哪怕对方是小鲜肉也不会那么快就卸下所有的防备吧，但是还是觉得用三幕稍微有点普通。爱玛·汤普森也老了，但是片中她依旧魅力十足，最后一场戏对着自己的身体欣赏的戏份升华了主题，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，要接受自己，哪怕是已经下垂的自己。而更应该在任何年纪都要正视自己的欲望，包括但不限于性的欲望、被爱的欲望，正是这些“杂念”重新定义了每一个人。
