About Far from the Madding Crowd (2015 film) in brief
Far from the Madding Crowd is a 2015 British romantic drama film directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Carey Mulligan, Matthias Schoenaerts, Tom Sturridge and Michael Sheen. It is the fourth film adaptation of the novel by Thomas Hardy. The film is set in about 1870 in Britain. While Bathsheba Everdene is working on her aunt’s farm in Dorset, she meets a neighbouring farmer, Gabriel Oak. As they get to know one another, he proposes, but she declines, saying she is too independent. After settling his debts, he is penniless, and leaves in search of work. While at a fair trying to find employment, Gabriel sees recruiting officers. A girl, Fanny Robin, points out one of the soldiers, Sergeant Frank Troy, her sweetheart. She suggests Gabriel seek employment at a farm in Weatherbury.
One day in town, Troy sees Fanny begging. She tells him of her error on their wedding day, and reveals that she is pregnant. He sends her to the workhouse while promising to take care of her. Fanny and her baby die in childbirth; their coffin is delivered to Bath sheba’s farm. BathSheba recognises Fanny’s name, notices the erasure, opens the coffin, and discovers the mother and baby within. When Fanny returns, he bends over the coffin and kisses his lips. When BathsheBA protests, he responds that even in death Fanny means more to him than she ever could. In the end, she agrees to consider his offer of marriage, and the film ends on a happy note, with Fanny still alive.
