Acclaimed novelist David Nicholls, perhaps best known for the best-selling One Day, looks back on the 2015 film of Thomas Hardy鈥檚 Far From the Madding Crowd, starring Carey Mulligan as the headstrong heroine Bathsheba Everdene. As a huge Hardy fan, Nicholls outlines the challenges he faced adapting the novel into a modern screenplay, how he wrestled with decisions about what to leave out and whether that would upset fellow fans, and how John Schlesinger鈥檚 celebrated 1967 film, starring Julie Christie, impacted on his own approach to the story.
