Jeanne du Barry, directed by Maïwenn, debuts at the Cannes Festival. The film stars Maïwenn as Madame du Barry and Johnny Depp as Louis XV.
The reviewer at Euronews wasn't impressed:
This overblown vanity project masquerading as a biopic tells the rags-to-riches-back-down-to-rags-and-decapitation story of Jeanne (Maïwenn), the illegitimate daughter of a monk and a cook. “She came from nothing,” we’re told in the opening voiceover. “But aren’t girls who come from nothing ready for anything?”
The sub-porn script doesn’t get much better from here.
Even this reviewer thought Johnny Depp was quite good though!
