BRIEF INTRODUCTION A love story revolving around a woman, involving lots of interesting drama with the richness of classic literature. It tells the romantic account of one Ms. Bathsheba Everdene (wonderfully carried by Carey Mulligan) dealing with three different men in her life.
Based upon the universally acclaimed novel of the same name, as early as the 1870s, the kind of setting and theme the novel provides just amazes me to the point that I want to read it again from the beginning.

The Theme Set in rural England, the romantic theme of the film deals with the subject of love, trust, loyalty, and practicality, showcasing romance in rather tough situations, sometimes dwindling, sometimes settling but never boring…

Bathsheba Everdene Personally speaking, Bathsheba Everdene is the most fascinating reason for watching “Far From…Crowd (2015)”. I was completely taken away by the sight of this character so advanced in personality, bold in choice and almost invulnerable in reason, that was her charm. Talking about women-centric themes, in older or recent times, there are fewer books or films offering freedom of choice to women characters but this one this one excels in this area astonishingly. And it didn’t matter to the idea if it was the 1800s, and that’s the beauty of it. If possible, I would also recommend reading the original novel to gain more insights into the character.

My journey with the novel I got to know about “Far from…Crowd (1874)” from my mother. She told me about it and even gave me her hard copy of the book.

P.S. Several adaptations of this novel have been made before, this is the most recent one and according to me, a fine one…just one more thing, try not to miss the ending.
