Ma\u00efwenn\u2019s \u201cJeanne du Barry\u201d depicts the hard life of Madame du Barry, who rose out of poverty after her family left her in a Catholic boarding school when she was a child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After gaining a reputation as a figure of adoration among high-society men, du Barry met King Louis XV, who was immediately smitten with her. The King arranged for du Barry to become his mistress and live with him in Versailles.<\/p>\n

The movie, which opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and is already a hit overseas, was not only directed by Ma\u00efwenn but she also plays the title role. The former wife of director Luc Besson, Ma\u00efwenn is an accomplished actress and filmmaker; she was unforgettable playing the Diva Plavalaguna in Besson\u2019s \u201cThe Fifth Element\u201d (1997) and was one of the leads in the infamous \u201cHigh Tension\u201d (2005).<\/p>\n

Yet, the most discussed bit of casting here is easily Johnny Depp, who is returning to acting after a three-year absence as the King. His performance follows the media circus around the defamation trial between him and his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeanne du Barry\u201d is far from the first film to depict the title figure – there are 10 films prior to this one, some of which were made during the silent era. In Sofia Coppola\u2019s \u201cMarie Antoiniette\u201d (2005), du Barry was played by Asia Argento. Ma\u00efwenn\u2019s film isn\u2019t a costume drama rethink like Coppola\u2019s radical film, or even a work that moved me as deeply as \u201cThe Young Victoria\u201d (2009).<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not a stuffy, stodgy pageant, either. Ma\u00efwenn is clearly aiming to replicate the beauty, precision, and internalized drama of Stanley Kubrick\u2019s \u201cBarry Lyndon\u201d (1975). Ma\u00efwenn\u2019s film, like \u201cBarry Lyndon,\u201d has immaculate sets and costumes, natural lighting, and a painterly framing of every single scene.<\/p>\n
