Far From the Madding Crowd (1967)
Director: John Schlesinger
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Another classic bites the dust. Thomas Hardy's Bathsheba, a country girl who attempts to better her station and find true love, miscast Julie Christie just as effectively as did Dr Zhivago; for some mysterious reason, the notion that she should play classic roles was one that persisted for several years. Nicolas Roeg's evocative photography of the West Country dominates the film, and shows up the characters as just going through the motions.Author: PH
