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.
盎撒式历史虚无主义的集中体现，华丽的场面和养眼的卡司，虚构了战前英德青年官僚本着良知为和平作出的努力，为的居然是强行洗白张伯伦维系短暂的和平而作出的绥靖，仿佛张中堂的所谓“务实”只是忍辱负重的缓兵之计，舍得骂名为帝国赢得战争准备的时间。然而不提傲慢的英国初心更在于祸水东引求得苏德火并，事实是英帝的绥靖是以小弟为代价的慷他人之慨，只为自己置身事外，时隔八十多年，NATO先撩者贱又在乌克兰战场外隔岸观火，历史实在是多么相似，最有意思的是片末说张中堂的忍辱负重为英帝赢得最后的胜利争取了时间，只字不提苏联，仿佛二战是靠英帝打下来的，真是滑天下之大稽。
片子本身的素质不错，挺加分的，铁叔还是稳
关于历史事件的一种演绎，放到今天来看，其实大家都明白战争是毫无意义的，不过是政治的延续，所有的谈判，协议，不过是暂时的借口，最终还是实力说话。捷克的苏台德地区，也真是够悲催。
张伯伦洗白片么？不过这个解读倒还蛮能说服我的就是了……p.s. 演希特勒的在“帝国的毁灭”里演的戈培尔。
这种以小见大能把人带回到现场，但总有种不见全章的困顿感，感觉会影响对历史的理解。
戏说慕尼黑协议 但是片子节奏和摄影是真好……
三星半吧，作为一个历史既定但人物虚构的影片，其实结局都已知道，只是为了两个男主的努力与白费功夫感到伤心罢了，张伯伦走下飞机发表讲话时，Hugh看着风雨欲来而决定了自己的未来，Paul回到了柏林，也准备为革命献出自己的生命，Hugh和Paul的感情太让人唏嘘了，本来也只是为了男主们看的，那个年代牛剑的年轻学子们啊。
当所有人都能闻到战争时，它是不可避免的。能把平淡的故事拍成怀疑和恐惧的困局，历史是已揭秘的悬疑吧。Paul容易理想化狂热，Hugh is just Like A Puppy. 间谍活动约等于余情未了前任见面，打字员姐姐逐渐理解了一切。
德国人里头有清醒的，不容易，这需要格外的勇气。
有关张伯伦是不是洗白之类的，害，都找铁叔来演了还不说明问题吗？就像希特勒的形象被刻画为矮小的疯子，说明影片制作方想要表现出希特勒形象就是如此昂。
比较平庸，拍得很努力，但是介于类型片和反类型之间，弄得结果有点问题。
看完很悲伤，比《法比安》更悲伤
张伯伦对年轻秘书很失望，因为他看到了真相，更长远的为人类考虑
决定人类历史走向的风云时刻，两位高材生想要逆天改命，但最终无法阻挡历史的车轮滚滚向前。深洗张伯伦的影片，我基本上快信了他的曲线救国哈哈，这和我学的历史书不太一样呦~
7 历史永远比想象的更具体，也更现实，更无情，片中呈现的政治博弈还是偏戏剧性。guarding angel 很美。二战真是一个非常非常值得写的总母题，对于一二战间隙的和平争取，服务于错误的高尚事业的迷茫（《长日将尽》），战争与代际以及个人成长的绑定及其反思（《浮世画家》）。狂热地支持一项事业并不惜代价，巅峰就是战争。想读读《张伯伦传》了，是否真是 to buy time at the expense of one's own reputation
我们不能选择我们所处的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。
原来苏台德区就是捷克德国附近那块啊，话说我每年冬天都去那边滑雪
还行吧，导演就是把一位秘书如何获取德国情报的经历给拍了一遍，中间穿插着张伯伦与希特勒博弈的过程，但人物的表现力不如暴风前夕，尤其我不喜欢结尾张伯伦自我辩驳的那段言辞，这典型又是导演在那里借张伯伦的口抛出所谓的大棋论，你可以洗白张伯伦，说慕尼黑协定是缓兵之计，但麻烦导演能不能不要直接用嘴炮的方式表现人物的复杂性，这种表现形式tm有点蠢。个人认为塑造最好的人物是德国那位小哥，朴素爱国主义和极端民族主义的矛盾情感在他身上得到了体现，其他角色还是相对太单薄了。
政治的部分似乎太过儿戏，要是能把重点完全放在主角间的个人感情倒会是个很好的故事
因为知道史实，这种心理预期加成了悬疑气氛（主要是为主人公们担心）。关于张伯伦，我知道常见的说法太武断太嘴炮（“绥靖就是软弱”），但是这个为了英国战胜而争取时间的结论，恐怕得考证一下（How much did they really know at the time?）两个主角演得不坏，简直是那个年代英德贵族某种“典型”的性格。在无耻混蛋里的盖世太保角色太深入人心，August Diehl 每次出现我都心惊肉跳……（这回的确是个类似的角色）
