Maïwenn’s “Jeanne Du Barry” is a sumptuous dive into the intrigues and passions of the French court, anchored by Johnny Depp’s mesmerizing portrayal of King Louis XV and Maïwenn’s captivating performance as the titular character, Jeanne Du Barry.
Set against the opulent backdrop of Versailles, the film follows the captivating journey of Jeanne Du Barry, a young woman from humble origins whose intelligence, charm, and ambition propel her into the highest echelons of French society. From her modest beginnings, Jeanne’s hunger for culture and pleasure leads her on a meteoric rise, culminating in her becoming the king’s last mistress.
Maïwenn skillfully crafts a narrative that delves into the complexities of power, desire, and societal norms. As Jeanne navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, her relationship with the king becomes a source of exhilaration and scandal.
