Anachronism

A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

Watched Marie Antoinette last night. Reminded me of Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are (released three years later). The whole anachronistic cinematic bunfight thing pales a bit, however, when you read that the dauphin and dauphine were 15 and 14yo when they married.
