What is the most inelegant and unforgivable thing Maïwenn has done? Pulling Edwy Plenel’s hair out or plunging the opening of the 76th Cannes Film Festival with her insipid and very disappointing “Jeanne du Barry”?
This biopic inspired by the life of Louis XV’s last favourite, whose flatness contrasts with the pomp and flamboyance of the Versailles setting, unfortunately failed to embody the complex personality of Jeanne du Barry, who was both light-hearted and non-conformist, audacious and clumsy.
