Now Showing: Far from the Madding Crowd from The Big Picture on Vimeo.

This week, The Big Picture looks at books that have been turned into films — sparked by the cinema release of a new version of Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd. Starring Carey Mulligan and Michael Sheen, Far From The Madding Crowd casts marriage in a particular light, prompting the Big Picture blokes to ponder what Hardy’s morality tale has to say to us in the 21st Century.
