Jeanne du Barry
Costume drama starring Johnny Depp about a young working-class woman who gains an important position at the court of Louis XV thanks to her beauty and charm.
Jeanne, a young working-class woman hungry for culture and pleasure, uses her intelligence and allure to climb the rungs of the social ladder one by one. She becomes the favourite of King Louis XV who, unaware of her status as courtesan, regains through her his appetite for life. They fall madly in love. Against all propriety and etiquette, Jeanne moves to Versailles, where her arrival scandalizes the court.
JEANNE DU BARRY marks Johnny Depp’s return to the screen after a three-year hiatus following his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard that culminated in a defamation trial won by Depp. The film had its world premiere as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival in May.
