Far from the Mad Crowd is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and the first truly serious literary success. The book was first published in Cornhill Magazine. I read the book. She's in her Victorian style of stiffness. The syllable is beautiful. It reads in one breath.
The best, in my opinion, adaptations are: 1967, directed by John Schlesinger with Julie Christie. And a British television adaptation of director Nicholas Renton with Paloma Baeza in 1998.
This film adaptation is a separate bow for high-quality locations, the work of production artists, costumes and scenery. Without a bit of kitsch, important dialogue (even page-by-page) and excellent acting work by Cary Mulligan and Matthias Shonarts are preserved. Authentic to its time and action, the picture has a slightly straightforward vector and a banal tendency to present the story in the final piece. But the general impression doesn't spoil.
“Silence sometimes has an amazing power—it becomes, as it were, the free soul of a feeling that has left its shell, and then it is much more significant than a word.
And it also happens that sometimes to say little is to say more than to say a whole lot of words.
Very good movie with great music, interiors and actors.
Look at that. I recommend it. 👍
