DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
- Craig Armstrong

"For all that, this is a lovely looking, sweetly scored mid- market diversion. Charlotte Bruus Christensen, who worked with Vinterberg on 'The Hunt,' makes something painterly of the gorgeous countryside. Craig Armstrong alternates proud Elgar chords with Vaughn Williams romanticism to suitable sylvan effect."
 
Donald Clarke, Irish Times
 
"Director Thomas Vinterberg has shaken off all vestiges of the pared-down minimalism that guided him when he made his Dogme classic, 'The Celebration.' Here he's all about lush music, gorgeous landscapes, and romantic action in a story he and his screenwriter have tightened and intensified. This 'Far From the Madding Crowd' is almost an hour shorter than the '60s one, which means the madding now comes so close on the heels of the gladding and the sadding, that it isn't until the very end, that you realize you've been artfully shepherded -- stampeded, really -- right off an emotional cliff."
 
Bob Mondello, NPR

"Approaching the material without an eye for what it might have to say about today's society, 'Far from the Madding Crowd' loses the novel's original subversiveness in favor of frothier details: charging strings layered over horseback rides straddling seaside cliffs, fiery sunsets, and heaving storms. This fixation on dreamy fluff elements diminishes the film's potential, transforming it into a high-flown tale of complicated romance rather than an incisive social critique.
 
Jesse Cataldo, Slant Magazine
 
"What does register at every turn is a vibrant sense of time and place that pulls us into Hardy’s bygone world even when the drama falters. Shooting on location in the real Dorset, Vinterberg and regular cinematographer Charlotte Bruus Christensen rely mostly on natural light and spacious widescreen frames to capture the land in all its rugged, forbidding beauty -- a look as transporting, in its way, as the fog-shrouded majesty of Polanski’s 'Tess.' Kave Quinn’s muddied, weathered sets and Janet Patterson’s costumes add to the sense of a hard-working society where function trumps decorous forms. Composer Craig Armstrong’s richly orchestrated but sparingly used score does its best to articulate the bottled-up emotions the characters themselves can not."
 
Scott Foundas, Variety
