Records Inc. User reviews Review. Top review. The film was bad, and poorly made let me stress poorly. I could see the microphone in almost every scene. There is even one scene where you can see a man holding the microphone reflected in a mirror. It was so bad, it was ridiculous; we almost thought it was a joke. The only reasoning we could come up with to explain this sloppy editing is that they didn't have the budget to shoot take after take at Versailles.
The acting was horrid; the story was a bore or lack of story. Plus, I liked the realism. The soundtrack was modern with some baroque music thrown in for kicks , and this didn't work at all although it was kind of cool to hear the Cure during their coronation ceremony ; the music sounded forced, like it was stuck in there just to make the film seem 'original'.
I could go on, but it's been a while since I saw it, and it's no longer fresh on my mind I saw it in France during its opening week. FAQ 2.
