QuickView
Story-line: the English countryside, circa 1860. Bathsheba Everdene, a pretty landowner, is an object of attention for several men but catching her fancy will be no easy task.
Pluses: a stark drama expertly acted and filmed.
Minuses: none really, but this movie won’t please sheep lovers.
Comments: FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD is a fine motion picture with a whirlwind ending. Every serious cinephile should see it one day.
