This brings me on to the new teaser trailer that’s been released to promote a film adaptation of the Victorian writer Thomas Hardy’s novel Far From The Madding Crowd. The story follows the life of Bathsheba Everdene, a woman who lives in the semi-fictional area of Wessex, and her romantic life which is pretty complicated by Victorian standards which complicates her life despite her status as a country heiress. Carey Mulligan stars as the lead protagonist alongside Michael Sheen, Matthias Schoenaerts, Tom Sturridge and Juno Temple.
This trailer is rather gorgeous in its look and sound. The use of juxtapositioning music with the images of an ever-complicated romantic situation is very well done. It makes for an enticing watch, inviting the audience to look deeper into the story. A film to keep an eye out for when it comes out in cinemas in 2015.
