Director: Maïwenn

Writer: Maïwenn

Cast: Johnny Depp, Maïwenn, Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Richard, Melvil Poupaud, Noémie Lvovsky, Pascal Greggory, India Hair

Director Maïwenn pays tribute to the legendary life of infamous courtisan Jeanne du Barry, King Louis XV’s favourite.

Shot on 35mm film, and on location at the sumptuous Château de Versailles, the film follows Jeanne’s incredible journey from a girl of humble origin to the King’s favourite, quickly shunned after his demise. Writer, director and leading actress, Maïwenn tightens her heroine’s corset and is a worthy partner of Hollywood legend Johnny Depp, who stars as King Louis XV.
