Far form the Madding Crowd

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

This is my favorite version of Far From the Madding Crowd. The characters and story-line seem more well developed, and my heart ached for Gabriel Oak, a humble, hard-working man crossed in life and in love. The soundtrack makes the story moving, and the small vignettes of workers singing in the field drew me in so that I felt I was part of the story. Personally, I don’t think that Paloma Baeza is beautiful, but I know men often have a different idea of beauty, but I thought that she played the character expertly. I could feel the energy of her defiance, independence and her folly. I have been a fan of this MT version for years. The DVD quality was excellent in my opinion.- Amazon Customer

So beautiful and such a wonderful experience watching this interpretation. There is a depth and understanding and glorious performance by Paloma Baeza and Nathaniel Parker that will make this the most outstanding version of Hardy’s novel. Wonderful scenery, delightful country folk and what can I say, it is perfect. I almost hesitated to order it since I like the Christie version. I am so glad I did order it.-Belachicana

I just love this movie. I first saw this movie on PBS and fell in love with the storyline. I am a big fan of everything BBC mostly because they use real looking people,in other words, the actors and actresses have blemishes, crooked teeth, and are not all “beautiful people” leading to a realism when veiwing the BBC movies. This movie has Nathaniel Parker (Inspector Lynley)
as the humble , but strong hero. The movie begins with a spoiled girl (Paloma Baeza) becoming mistress of a working farm. She has her misadventures, but in the end finally grows into a woman. If you get this movie look for Colin Firth’s (Pride and Predudice) real brother as the dashing officer who seduces Paloma Baeza.- deirdre
