Far from the Madding Crowd

Romantic drama based on the classic novel by Thomas Hardy. An independent young woman preparing to take over her uncle's farm attracts the attention of three very different men.

Beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene catches the eye of local farmer Gabriel Oak when she arrives to live with her aunt in the Dorset village of Norcombe. She declines his offer of marriage, but their lives continue to intertwine as fate brings contrasting fortunes to both of them.

Adapted by David Nicholls for 麻豆官网首页入口 Films from the novel by Thomas Hardy.
