Modern music gets me every time

Rating: 5/10 (15 February 2007)

I only want to state one point about this movie at this point. And its about the music used in it.
Having learned little from the fiascoes of movie history of mixing historic eras, Coppola and crew decided on using contemporary music in the setting of the French Revolution.
Here we have yet again a movie with potential but rendered ridiculous from the very title screen. Abhorrence. When will the world learn that fat and water doesn't mix. The other, but worse commercial movie which comes to mind is A Knights Tale, with the rock dances in the banqueting hall.
There's few enough quality historic movies being made already...
