Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015) by Johnnylee T — 15 Jun 2016
Was interested to compare this to the '67 Christie/Stamp/Finch/Bates version. I give that 4 stars but this left me detached in comparison. A scene that seemed to capture the times so beautifully in that film was the meal Bethsheba shares with her workers. There, she sat inside while her staff sat outside like they were at a picnic! In this version, it all takes place very quietly in the dark with little obvious joy.
Anyhow, worth seeing but try to watch the Shlesinger film for a better adaptation.
