Overview

Julie Christie is Bathsheba, a headstrong and independent, young woman who unexpectedly inherits a large farm in Dorset and then becomes romantically involved with three widely divergent men, including Terence Stamp’s dashing cavalry sergeant.

Directed by John Schlesinger and lavishly photographed by Nic Roeg, this stunning new restoration reveals new depths to one of Britain’s most beautifully shot period films.
