Far from the Madding Crowd has the not uncommon effect with a classic of sending one back to the book, for reassurance that Hardy really did achieve what the film hasn't.

Rating: 3/5 --
It's maybe not up there in the pantheon of British classics, but there's something highly relaxing and radical about the fact that Schlesinger articulates this classical story with breathy longeurs ...

[VIDEO ESSAY] Visually lush, and powerfully acted by a quartet of England's finest actors, John Schlesinger's "Far From the Madding Crowd" is admirable in spite of its imprecise narrative focus and flaws in its direction.

The length gives room for Nicholas Roeg's outstanding cinematography, which delivers an authentically rustic English epic.

A perfect example of a film that captures the spirit of the source-material, whilst boldly exploiting and exploring the potential of the cinematic medium.

Product Description:
Julie Christie and Terence Stamp star in John Schlesinger's adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. In rural Victorian England, circa 1865, a headstrong young woman (Christie) inherits her dead uncle's farm. Soon after, three very different men begin to pursue her: a failed sheep farmer (Alan Bates); a wealthy landowner (Peter Finch); and the one she falls in love with, a reckless military sergeant (Stamp) whose reputation precedes him.
