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.
全无风格，剧作差劲，配乐俗不可耐，亚历山大成了僵尸演员，比起来还不如《日出英烈祠》～也许导演压根不是明日之星，之前走运罢了，后面一次比一次差
安雅都可以演E大女儿的感觉…如果是在电影院看 视听效果肯定会再加一星 无奈没有办法欣赏到 北欧版王子复仇记 本来以为会在老套的故事情节里看出新意 然而也并没有
男女主身材颜值好，加一星。
看了几篇影评，还是觉得在讨论艺术的伦理边界，身体政治还是核心。可惜不懂赛博格。如果可以从装置艺术来看应该也会很有趣，观感还是很奇妙的
故事线简单，没有字幕且听不懂口音的情况下也能看懂，视听效果非常不错
沾满鲜血的野兽，孕育后代的保护者，欲求复仇的宿命，这一路是童年神棍的涟漪，自我渴望的镜像，亦或确实真神的指引，一切背叛、杀戮之下皆是虚幻的，他一直只不过是那个对父亲许下誓言的男孩，从不曾长大过，我会为你复仇父亲，我会来救你母亲
3.4分。 艾格斯的第三部导演作品，比起前两部，显然在作者表达这块落了下乘，主线故事基本按照《哈姆雷特》走，没有太多惊喜的地方。如何说有变化，那就是王后了，成为了个同样苦命，但又城府颇深的奴隶。 不过毕竟是艾格斯的电影，依然在奇幻传说、血腥场面和宗教典故上带来不错的体验。男主角受到命运的召唤，是选择安于平庸，还是为父报仇；而遇到心爱的女人之后，是选择老婆孩子热炕头，还是斩断仇人的头颅？依然是个哈姆雷特似的抉择。 听说这片子是艾格斯和环球厂拉扯妥协下的产物，也难怪，本是个复仇商业片，却又在艺术导演的追求下失去了火气，两边不搭。
内容远远大于形式，听力不过关的我可能只懂一半的内容；但转念一想，貌似再好也不过titane
不知道为啥北美评分那么高哇。
Conan the Barbarian, Macbeth, Vinland Saga, Come and See, The Green Knight. 7/10, disappointed over all. 全片最大疑问，瓦尔基里为啥戴牙套？
非常非常的普，就没有一个东西是新的。首先维京文明已经有些过度改编了，而北欧人无论在画面上还是内容上都没有任何新意，涵盖的基本就是你看到片名后十秒内联想到的内容。罗伯特艾格斯如果只是想忠实记录民俗的话，其实不用拍电影的。主线故事大概有个一千多岁了吧，看完演员表加豆瓣简介约等于看完电影了，不会有任何超出你预期的剧情。最不懂的是有人吹摄影。这个投资级别的电影拿出几个调度还行的长镜头真的值得吹吗。至少对我来说，最失望的一点就是摄影。罗伯特艾格斯一直是个风格化的创作者，但北欧人的每一帧都通用到可以插入任何一个关于北欧的视频。看不到任何一点表达，没有任何令人感觉新奇的视觉元素。且不说很多画面撞了很多其他电影，有些片段真的太蠢了，蠢到我以为自己在看什么游戏的过场CG。
豆瓣并不算高的评分或许体现了观影的期待偏差。对于哈姆雷特的故事设定从一开始就没打算往叙事方向走，嫁接到北欧的历史环境，自然也不会是史诗的规模，特殊的神话和宗教崇拜体系下，一贯独特的色彩和运镜，最终呈现的，定是满足小众口味的融合菜码而已，我蛮喜欢。
剧本乱七八糟。演技一塌糊涂。
虚实交融和长镜头令人想起伊纳里图的《还魂者》。 诡异民俗的梦呓和嘶吼、星光下的屠杀和交媾。受自然和神灵引领支配的复仇之旅，冰冷国度与炽热火山上的宿命之歌。（口音太重+口齿不清导致很多台词没听懂反而意外加强了某种仿佛神志不清的浸入感🌚）
高概念设置，人类在后科技时代极端异化后的生命本质和目的诘问，以冷酷同时又是热烈的自残方式。人，陷入不断加速生长的精神毒瘤、改造自身来适应自己制造的垃圾环境、与环境互渗互戕之中。异化成为常态，逐步消解“人性”，且通过孩童塑性成为新的基因。扭曲的意义，畸形的审美造成时间节点纪录的荒凉，所有雕上美丽花纹的增殖器官，所有切割精神的行为和装置，带来的不是残酷的艺术美，而是世界的绝望。
大气的维京王子复仇记。导演没延续前两部成功的小成本电影路线改走大场景大特写来营造维京人野蛮强悍。投资花在冰岛瑰丽美景并强调个人风格内容显单薄而空洞。形式大于内容的作品（喜欢在火山岩浆上那场决斗戏）
新世纪古典主义大片，哈姆雷特原型故事，主角的人设比哈姆雷特硬100倍
拍出韦斯安德森的味道减一星。对本片感兴趣的欢迎去看我在豆瓣阅读的连载，我也是北方人。
沾满鲜血的野兽，孕育后代的保护者，欲求复仇的宿命，这一路是童年神棍的涟漪，自我渴望的镜像，亦或确实真神的指引，一切背叛、杀戮之下皆是虚幻的，他一直只不过是那个对父亲许下誓言的男孩，从不曾长大过，我会为你复仇父亲，我会来救你母亲
you would be my new king, Amleth”
