The play was set in Ancient Greece, yet I saw that the clothes the people were wearing looked more like something from turn-of-the-century (or sometime before that) England.
Also some of the characters were riding bicycles with electric lights on them, and in Ancient Greece they had no bicycles or electricity. The decor of the buildings also did not fit in with it very well.
Who else noticed this, and why do you think they did this?
Yve, you missed the discussion at the beginning of the film, but the filmmakers decided to present the story in Tuscany in the early 1800's. There is no real explanation fo this. Perhaps they thought it would make the story more visually appealing. When I think of ancient Greece, I think of marble and stone - not the colorful and magical world that the filmmakers presented.
