I went to see the film last night and loved it.
The star is Carey Mulligan, who plays the role of Bathsheba Everdene beautifully.
The photography of the film reminds of Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightley version). It is soft and sweeping with gorgeous landscapes. The musical score is also perfect.
And who could resist Gabriel Oak played by Matthias Schoenaerts.
I would strongly recommend Far From the Madding Crowd (or as our cinema advertised it, Far From the Maddening Crowd) to anyone who loves a good period drama. Go see it and enjoy.
Oh, me and my husband are going to see it tomorrow, so nice to hear it is going to be enjoyable. My oldest is callled Gabriel because of Mr Oak.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the cinema for a long time, we seem to wait for the DVD release if it is something we really do want to watch.
ReplyDeleteWonderful movie. I enjoyed it so much I'm thinking about seeing it again!
