The music is wonderful, the various pieces of Lully really set the mood for this colorful film, but the carelessness of the director is seen in the costumes. The clothing of the 1660s and early 1670s were radically different from the ones in the 1680s. I expected to see more petticoat breeches, over skirts and short coats on the men, with the scenes in the 1660s, but instead they have costumes from the 1690s (long coats, waistcoats)! Would someone make a movie about the 1970s and have everyone outfitted from clothes from the 1990s?
