Short description
In Victorian England, the independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak, a hardworking young sheep farmer; Frank Troy, a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood, a prosperous and mature bachelor.
What's left behind the scenes
- During the filming of a scene where Carey Mulligan rides a horse, the actress fell and landed directly on her head. Ten minutes later, while filming a different scene, she fell onto her knees. Matthias Schoenaerts initially thought she was simply acting, but then Mulligan collapsed face down. According to Mulligan, she suffered a concussion that plagued her for about six weeks, and because of it, she can't even remember some moments of filming.
- The filmmakers reached an agreement with the army to cease fire in the training area of Lulworth Cove (United Kingdom) during filming.
- Approximately two-thirds of the film was shot outdoors.
- The film is based on Thomas Hardy's novel 'Far from the Madding Crowd' (1874).
- Carey Mulligan suggested Matthias Schoenaerts for the role of Gabriel Oak after seeing him in 'Rust and Bone' (2012).
- The song sung by Carey Mulligan and Michael Sheen is 'Let No Man Steal Your Thyme,' a traditional British and Irish folk ballad.
- Jessica Barden, who plays Liddy in this film, previously played Jodie in 'Tamara Drewe' (2010), a modern adaptation of the same story.
- The film features a scene at a market where a poster with news from Casterbridge is visible in the background. This is a reference to Thomas Hardy's other novel, "The Mayor of Casterbridge."
- The title of the film and the novel it is based on was taken from Thomas Gray's poem "Elegy written in a Country Churchyard."
- According to director Thomas Vinterberg, when he first began reading the script, by the tenth page he was absolutely certain that he saw only Carey Mulligan in the lead role.
- Matthew Goode was offered the role of Sergeant Troy.
- The film was shot in 53 days.
