About this episode
We rarely find a more determined fictional female character in literature from the late 19th century than Bathsheba Everdeen.
Guided by a strong will and a deep-rooted desire to build her path while keeping her full independence, Bathsheba learns the hard way that love and companionship are still not that bad after all.
A film full of breathtaking landscapes, a plot with unexpected twists, and a love story to remember, Far from the Madding Crowd made us think about women's leadership in an unusual time and place as well as the hard choices we sometimes get in life.
***Spoiler alert! While reviewing this film, we go through key scenes and may reveal the ending, so be warned of spoilers!***
