How to ruin a movie with the soundtrack

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2008)

As soon as the film started I was immediately shocked by the rock music in the introduction... but OK, I thought it might be to give a dubious message about the time of the movie. But then it continued throughout the whole movie... I'm not against using modern music for historical movies, but not when it is clashes so obviously with the movie ambiance. The worst I saw of the type was Charlie Chaplin's silent movie "The Gold Rush", where they put a Polka as a background music for a sad moment in the movie!! OK... here it doesn't go as bad as that, but still is annoying.
And it is a pity because the movie is really very interesting and worth seeing. Kirsten Dunst was great and all the ambiance in the French court was nicely depicted. Did things really happen like that??
