Watch: Matthias Schoenaerts Asks Carey Mulligan To Marry Him In Clip From ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’

Corsets, autumnal cinematography and literary romance are not the usual ingredients of summer movies, but “Far From The Madding Crowd” might serve as a nice counterweight to the usual nachos-and-oversized-soda fare. And today comes a new clip from the film.

Based on the book by Thomas Hardy and directed by Thomas Vinterberg (“The Hunt,” “The Celebration“), the story follows three very different men who vie for the hand of the beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan). And in this clip, you’ll see the sheep farmer Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts) make his bid for marriage.

Watch it below along with a new TV spot, and a UK one sheet via Recent Movie Posters. “Far From The Madding Crowd” opens on May 1st.
