Explore the making of Us through the props, costumes, and storyboards that brought the film to life! Pieces of Us is a robust, deluxe volume that dives deep into Jordan Peele’s enigmatic 2019 horror masterpiece, revealing the secrets behind the film’s instantly iconic visual style. This book not only unveils a fascinating behind-the-scenes story, but it also investigates the hidden meanings threaded throughout the film’s narrative.

Following his Academy Award-winning success with 
Get Out, Jordan Peele further cemented his status as one of today’s most visionary filmmakers with Us, a chilling horror film with big ideas and bloody retribution in equal measure. Featuring intriguing narrative threads, uncanny characters, subversive musical arrangements, and an eclectic visual style, Us is the rare blockbuster that delighted fans, awed critics, and upped the ante. Pieces of Us showcases the bold production design and dynamic storyboards that form the backbone of a brilliant cinematic achievement. Including insights from Peele and other key creatives, this making-of book decodes the indelible imagery that propelled Us to become one of the most memorable and transgressive modern horror films.
