Forget Julie Christie - this is truer to the novel
by cwooden1998-08-13
9/10

"This is a wonderful adaption of the great Thomas Hardy novel. Though the 1960's version (starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates,and Terrance Stamp) is gorgeous, this film is not so dated and the performances are in keeping with the original intent of the novelist. All the principles are strong but especially impressive is Nigel Terry's performance as doomed Mr. Boldwood whose love for Bathsheba drives him from hope and new-found happiness to despair and frenzy. The locations are beautiful - almost another character in the story. The dialects of the locals may be difficult to understand..."
