Biopics can shed new light on the life and work of beloved celebrities, but they can also introduce the audience to a fairly unknown historical figure. That’s the case with Maïwenn’s Jeanne du Barry, a period romance inspired by the real-life story of the famous French woman who used her charm to become the favorite mistress of King Louis XV during the 18th century.
Release Date May 16, 2023 Director Maïwenn Cast Maïwenn , Johnny Depp , Benjamin Lavernhe , Melvil Poupaud Runtime 113 minutes Main Genre Biography Choosing a non-French actor to play a French king in a high-budget production might feel weird, but Depp does surprisingly well. Those who use French as an everyday language can still hear Depp’s accent, but his mastery of the language is extensive enough to fit the role, which is a welcome surprise.
Jeanne du Barry is stronger when it makes fun of the bizarre costumes of the French court, put together to maintain the status quo and ensure the wealthy classes remain in power. Because of that, the presence of an ordinary woman in the court is a scandal in itself. Even so, Jeanne uses all her energy to disturb the rigid life in the palace, slowly convincing the King to challenge the court’s notion of grace and duty.
