FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

Far from the Madding Crowd is a period romance with an air of modernity. Based on the classic novel by Thomas Hardy, we meet Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), a headstrong young woman who has absolutely no desire to be married—so of course, she attracts not one, but three suitors drawn to her determined independence. There’s Gabriel Oak, the practical sheep farmer who immediately envisions her as a perfect farmer’s wife. Her neighbor, William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), finds her luminous presence the spark that awakens a long dormant fire within. And finally there’s Francis Troy, a reckless but passionate military officer who draws her like a moth to a flame. Bathsheba’s decision will affect the rest of her life, but it’s the elements beyond her control that will change it forever. A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls Far from the Madding Crowd, “an instant classic.”
