"Jeanne du Barry" opens the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday. Co-producer, director and lead actress, Maïwenn Le Besco, plays Madame du Barry.

Film marks the return to the screen of the American actor Johnny Depp. Depp and herself will find themselves caught in legal cases: he during two sensational trials opposing him to his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard, she for the complaint filed in March by the co-founder of Mediapart Edwy Plenel.
