Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd is the story of Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), a fiercely independent and spirited young woman who inherits her uncle’s farm. A rarity in Victorian times-financially autonomous, beautiful, and headstrong-she attracts three very different but determined suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor. This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions, while trying to maintain her own independence, explores the nature of relationships and love-as well as the human ability to overcome hardship through resilience and perseverance. A Fox Searchlight release.

Matthias' performance was definitely the star of this film! Such quiet strength that keeps you wanting more!
This is one film that you won't get tired watching
He is so gorgeous I first saw him in Rust and Bone and fell completely in love with him and now I can’t get enough of him. As well as being a great actor he so charming and intelligent
So many people are in love with Matthias. He is such a great actor and always steels the attention of all. He does need to do more films in the US. They show him off to challenge ohis acting capabilities..
Matthias and Thomas are so very intelligent and it's interesting to observe one coming from a director who has to oversee the entire crew and Matthias who foretells his sensitivties of his role. Carey and Matthias are truly the stars of this movie. They are the draw that bring the interest in the remake of this classic. After seeing this rendition, I did watch the rendition made 20 years ago.
Really enjoyed this conversation between the director and the actor of this film. I have seen the film a few times and i agree with their take about the end. I love what Thomas said about devotion being the adult sense of love as opposed to the teenage sense of love. I think Bathsheba as portrayed in this film does experience that transformation of being independent and feisty young lady who needs to prove to herself that she can make it on her own, to being interdependent with Gabriel Oak. As the movie unfolds we start to see the small signs of her seeking Gabriel's thoughts as she comes to see him as her equal and able to show her emotional vulnerability to him. She learns real devotion only after being ill treated by her husband. She learns that what Gabriel offers is true love and true devotion. And more importantly, she learns to develop the courage to be vulnerable with him and allow herself to admit her love for him.
This was a very good film. and Matthias Schoenaerts carried the film with his excellent nuanced performance and his masculine beauty. Carrie was fine, but Mattias was fantastic.
I've been at Lincoln Center in NYC. That's were Matthias belongs in explaining all his characters he has portrayed. He;sso unique and so intelligent. He always amazes me.
The director Vinterberg’s English is soo good! He is handsome!
Totally in love with Thomas Vinterberg. What a smart guy with a great insight and perception. Love his humor too. I totally agree with what he says about character of Gabriel of being a man, that can see the woman, listen to the woman, give space to a woman and still be a man, being very rare. It´s true unfortunately. And I can´t help wondering, why is that.
Wow. What a spectacular interview, so vivid,open, and honest. In regards to that last question, his answer was heartfelt and passoniate. Of course it was out of love. The realization of mature love. The realization of the great man who loved her for a life time. What a great love story.
Im glad he was chosen for this movie..it waa the first movie i ever saw him in..and i wanted to see it..and loved the movie so much i bought the dvd..which i never do unless i love it..😊
So true what they said about the kiss; as someone who is not familiar with the novel i literally did feel like jumping out of my chair when it happened. Such great chemistry & both beautiful
gc123x I cried when they kissed and wanted to jump out of my chair but was too busy crying. Such a great movie, can't rave about it enough. Matthias is the perfect actor for this roll.
I always eat up period dramas i love em :) Like i said i don't know the novel but i just loved his character; humble, kind, shy, quietly supporting her with no thought for his own feelings. Looks to me like Matthias did an incredible job but i'd like to hear from someone who has read the book as to whether that's a true reflection of book Gabriel, maybe i should read it myself!
I didn't read it either, will skip the book and keep on being in love with the movie instead this time. This version works well for me and if it ain't broke why fix it, right? I just saw another one with Matthias in Suite Française, i think you might enjoy it too :)
Do you know what i googled him afterwards & found that (such a sad stalker), i'll definitely give it a watch if you've recommended it :)
He is so worth googling ( code word for stalking - i did it too ) I hope you will like it. It was amazing. Christine Scott and Michelle Williams are also in it, no need to mention that they are great actresses. (^_
I love this Film sooo much!!! Thank you all for this wonderful movie!!! I found it one mons ago. Now I look it every day!!! Greetings from Germany
Have not seen this remake yet. I hang on Vinterberg’s words. I saw The Celebration which was a masterpiece.
Yes, I felt the exact same feeling they speak about. It left me feeling a happiness and relief that they ended up together. I did want to cheer for them. What a spectacular movie.
Lovely interview and discussions Matthias true actor to show to treat a woman listens to her views of Life. Great ending showing us his love for her was complete and hers for him too.🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧
And that's EXACTLY the way I felt at the end of the movie, Y E S! It's absolutely the best movie, an emotional roller coaster for sure. I can't get enough of Matthias!
that's right. I agree with what Thomas said. she'd learned devotion from Gabriel which is one of really important elements of true and mature love. Yeah and she became to love him truly. She grown up without parents so doesn't know about devotion but independence I guess. That was all she knows and thinks about. this director's so sensitive~ I like him. and I like Matthias schoenaerts so much. He's a really nice person. so honest sincere and talented. love his glance.. stare.~ so warm sensible and charming~
thomas:"...and yet so handsome..."
aww...that is so true!!!
my favourite movie of all time...masterpiece... I wish Matthias played a leading role in my movie...
Concerning the pre-last scene: I interpreted that Batsheba has realized the unrelenting devotion of Gabriel and finally is ready to respond and commit with a same devotion.
I've not read the book, so the film is my only reference. Personally, I love the way Thomas chose to present these characters. "An antidote for modern day cynicism"...wonderful. Love the discussion about the final scene.

Thank you for this thoughtful film.
Great interview both Matthias and Thomas are inteligent captivating men, love the insight on the movie and on them too.
Loved Thomas V in this interview.. very intelligent and eloquent -- funny too🤣FFMC was the first Matthias movie that I saw and I have been hooked since. Loved him in his phenomenal Bullhead and Rust and Bone projects. Seriously, this dude is a major actor! But at the same time, I was like: "Oh, crap.. another unattainable actor crush. F*** my life!" Sorry, I'm just a silly fangirl stalking him here 🥰
This movie is perfect! Absolutely gorgeous! ♥
Eduarda Graciano ,
A very beautiful & important discussion and great interpretations of the main actors.... particularly in a day and age where there is much confusion about gender roles: what it means to be a woman, to be a man. Hut ab!!!
I hope when this pandemic is over. Matthias Schoenaerts will do a drama romantic movie like this classic Far from Madding Crowd
but he already _did_ ... which is _why_ you are watching this in the first place. 🤷🏻♀️🤔
it seems like a silly request when _exactly_ what you are asking for has _already_ been granted to you. you even acknowledged it yourself at the end.
So interesting! Love Vinterberg!
The depth of these actors emotions was so magnetic, I enjoyed this 2015 rendition of the movie. What is it that makes the Danish so advanced sexually than Americans or the British? Is it the cold weather? (smile).
no, it's the fact that they were _not_ raised to be sexually _repressed_ that makes the danish very openminded and progressive in comparison.
Matthias was so true about the YES! from the audience. Cos i did yell Yes!!
Angelus88
ABSOLUTELY. I loved that ending soooooo much!
It really did feel like a satisfying ending to a great journey :)
If the 3 men were a piano chord, William being all about the money and Bathsheba being an ornament.
Troy was selfish and thought only of himself and Gabriel (Matthias) came from a place of true love. He showed remarkable inner strength. Besides being so great looking, Matthias stood out in the Madding Crowd.
I'd love to see Matthias in a more modern day sophisticated love story. Plus an ongoing development of that love. Sometimes it's annoying when the audience can draw their own conclusions. It would be nice to see the couple's love develop over maybe 10 years.or more and have him deal with more modern day issues. I guess I'm saying what his true love bring out in him. Maybe we'll never see that or maybe we'll have to wait until he really falls in love. In my own life, I could write 3/4rs of the film, not that I'm looking for that in any way. But he does have me reading Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.
Please make second part
25:02 lol I just chose this point to start watching and I picked a great part to begin with 😅
25.22 i laughed so handddddddddd Matthias Schoenaerts !!!!! :)))))
I am a New Yorker and pleased to see Matthias in New York
Matthias should be in a 2000 time period with a weiter and director that have the imagination to improve our United States. Come on Matthias, do current day movies. I have worked for a President of the US and Matthias can bring interest in improving the US direction.
😍💓💓💓
Is it possible that he made sheeps eat grass in order to be needed next day and because she had more and less said to him that she needed someone who challenge her?
No! I read the novel and no! Gabriel would never hurt the sheeps to prove a point. He is a very good man.
Yes!!!! I honestly thought that Bathsheba didn’t deserve Gabriel. I wanted him to go on the boat and marry someone who truly loved him and recognized his value and worth. Bathsheba deserves Troy lol
Does Thomas have the hots for Matthias
LummiLumm Maybe. Matthias is 🔥 so I get it.
European men are much more physically affectionate than American men. Matthias will kiss and hug men on the red carpet. It’s just a cultural difference.
Who coughed in the audience?

Vinterberg as creepy and painful to watch here as in his Bowie interview. Age hasn't helped.
Its okay to be gay
ormagormur but not okay to be creepy. I agree that he was creepy and a little uncomfortable. Touchy too. If I was Matthias I would have not felt comfortable. You can be gay and not creepy.

He’s ghastly as was this film version.
@@Phantomrasberryblowe Ghastly yet so arrogant.
Yee i was making a joke. I like thomas vinterberg but yeah he was a lil...erm too touchy
