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.
看过关于年轻人背包旅行的，中年人寻找自我的，如今第一次看到老年人在经历破碎人生后上路游荡的…觉得没有什么做作，非常的悲伤和真实。当你穷了一生努力过得体面，到最后发现维持体面反而才是最不重要的，还有什么值得的呢？于是，游荡吧。
最后再讲点民粹的事情：一开始赵婷拿大奖，国内一通吹我是非常不屑一顾的：我猜她拍的就是美国电影，拿奖正常，跟你有什么关系。看完之后觉得自己狭隘了，人类情感的共通之处是远比国别之间的差别大得多的，那些孤独、记忆、不后悔、安静是全人类共享的。希望2021年我自己更多元一点，不要太狭隘吧。
@ L'Epée de bois 刚好一个多月没去电影院了 电影院观感加一分
看似“无依”，却紧紧“依靠”着这片土地、记忆、Bo，“依靠”得太紧以至于无法拥抱更多的爱，年复一年，选择孤独却不曾孤独。
当Swankie讲起她难忘的旅途、那些在地球某个角落里一直发生着的「奇观」，她整个人都在发光——“就算在那一刻死去也此生无憾了”——生命之光。相比之下，《无依之地》比《骑士》更加「散文化」，轻叙事，着力于描摹状态和表达情绪。很多动人瞬间唤起心中的流浪之魂。
舒缓，安静，痛苦，孤独还有贫穷，这就是失去对象又没有子女的老年人的生活，唯一的慰籍只能来自同样在路上的过客。

车厢里，荒野上，工厂车间，温馨家庭，每个空间的感觉和作用都拍得好清晰。选择“石头”来代表这些houseless的人也很贴切玩味。
才知道宋丹丹是赵婷的继母…
当然，很容易指摘说赵婷的改编过于浪漫化，但电影本身并不必然承担社会学责任。就其审美层面而言，这一百分钟的大写意，既一言不发，又滔滔不绝，那些痛苦的难堪的窘迫的屈辱的，被省略也被超越。东坡和佛印，肚里有什么，眼里又有什么？
整个片子时间压缩得特别紧，完全没有段落感，人一个个的来，又一个个地重逢和离别。这条路的哲学和安叔要和人认真告别的想法正好相反，是永远不去告别、相信还会遇见，哪怕他们已经去了天国。
街头语言很缓和，大量的冷色调和清新的配乐，十分适合早春和晚冬看。
focus在人和情緒上的寫法和拍法，很沉得住，準確的地方也不乏力道，那份踏實和成熟度還是令人覺得服氣的。唯一缺陷是配樂，像是直接拿了幾首罐頭鋼琴曲就擺到音軌上了
3.5，面前旷荡广袤的，不是无依之地，而就是人生啊。核心提取出来也蛮鸡汤的，刚开始还以为是比较严肃的社会议题，后半段一路滑到了“和爱的人总会遇见”这个调性，重回工厂也变成了抒情段落，就还挺奇怪的。可能会朝迈克·李的方向发展？
对西部风景的浪漫化与对拮据生活残酷化都过于刻意，对人物的情感几乎没有进行挖掘，政治立场分裂，对工人社会团体极度怀疑却在生存问题上仰仗人的联结，如果说《骑士》提出了问题但没有给出解答，《无依之地》甚至没有提出问题
纪录片式的沉静，科恩嫂满脸都是故事，仿佛从她的童年开始，便照顾着历代星辰。
You choose your path and you take all the consequences.还是挺能感同身受的，没有safty net的生活状态，也不是说毫无选择，是我自己选择了这样的生活方式，音乐好听，还想到了kate bush的coral room，不晓得为啥
人不至于绝望到死，因为有条退路，还可以去开RV，我说我想隐居，但却有不得不停留在一处生活下去的理由，我要和世界告别似乎还有些远，也许偶尔随处游牧随波逐流断了线迷了路失了方向，但有些人生活早已成了黑洞，吸走了一切光和热，他们不得不上路，心静自然凉。赵婷让国人知道，我们不缺好导演，缺的是宽容的环境。出字幕前最后一段旋律莫名让我想起了《在人间》：会有柏林墙出不去，一生与苦难做邻居，伟大时光已夺走你什么，在人间有谁活着不像是一茬炼狱，我不哭我已经没有尊严能放弃。
她一直和世界是疏离的，状态不定，在amazon工作间里行走时，她左右向大家主动打着招呼，但又有点讷讷。做营地管理员后，好像一下有了元气，跑入石阵群深处被搭救，向朋友挥手时像做错事的小姑娘。最后抱着小婴儿一时慌乱，却还是走出屋檐，心中也许就像那片海，也是有波澜挣扎的。这一路经过的好多人也都记忆深刻，可一次次短暂陪伴后回归沉静，真的太寂寞了，屏幕前的我感同身受，却不得不（有点绝望的）被她拽着继续行进下去，继续路上再见，心中默念着十四行诗。20210608
虽然得了一堆奖但我真不觉得好看。自讨苦吃式修行，让我想起了那些三和大神。
