But unexpected events lead to a different outcome. Fanny dies in childbirth and Troy, heartbroken, swims out to sea and is presumably drowned.īathsheba is now tempted to marry William Boldwood, who promises to clear Troy’s debts. When he finds her destitute and pregnant, he plans to leave Bathsheba. Troy had previously been in love with a young girl, Fanny Robin (Juno Temple). Troy becomes master of the estate and promptly loses much of their money to drinking and gambling. Bathsheba then foolishly falls in love with a soldier of poor character, Sergeant Francis Troy (Tom Sturridge), and marries him.
A wealthy neighbour, William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), also falls in love with Bathsheba but she turns down his marriage proposal too. Gabriel becomes the manager of Bathsheba’s farm but never loses his love for her. He asks her to marry him, but Bathsheba has no plans to marry and turns him down.Ĭircumstances change suddenly when Gabriel loses his farm and everything he owns, while Bathsheba inherits a grand house and farm from her uncle. She meets a young neighbouring farmer, Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), who immediately falls in love with her. She is also educated but lives a simple life on a farm. Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) is independent, headstrong and beautiful. Based on the classic Thomas Hardy novel, Far from the Madding Crowd is set in Dorset, England, during the 19th century.
