The absolute protagonist of the film is certainly not the mythical sword but rather the music. Pure electronics that counterpoints the whole story revisited by the director in a pop key (for the more distracted, she remembers her frequentation with pop-star Madonna as her spouse, even if currently ex). The frenzied editing recalls video clip techniques, but not in a derogatory sense but rather for a decidedly current narrative choice, proposing a modernization of the King Arthur epic. The right choice of actors does the rest (among others a Jude Law in an unusually bad role).
A decidedly successful operation that makes the director say: "The basic idea was to present a story closer to today's young people, their ideals and their way of seeing things."
