Far From the Madding Crowd (2015 Thomas Vinterberg)

Yes. Carey Mulligan as good as ever as determined heroine, adapted by David Nicholls from Thomas Hardy novel. With Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Sheen, Tom Sturridge, Juno Temple.

Shot - in Panavision, and fittingly enough - by a woman, Charlotte Bruus Christensen, who does a good job of the landscape and low light. She's worked on other Vinterberg films but not one of his earliest and best known - Festen. Edited By Claire Simpson (Platoon, The Reader, The Constant Gardener). Good score too by Craig Armstrong.

Sort of not really looking forward to watching it but really enjoyed it - not overlong either.
