Jeanne is a young girl from the lower middle class who feels a strong and intense desire to soak up culture and pleasure. The cunning young woman uses her knowledge and beauty to climb little by little in the social pyramid, so much so that she becomes the favorite of King Louis XV, who without knowing that she is a working-class girl, gives her what is necessary to Restore the will to live. Jeanne and Luis end up falling madly in love with each other, with all the scandal that this entails among the court, who see how a courtesan arrives at the Palace of Versailles to become the faithful support of the King of France.

Trivia

Depp had to work with a coach to speak French

The actor revealed that to act in French he had to work with a coach who helped him be precise in his pronunciation. His goal was to get rid of these problems so he could act as natural as possible.

Madame du Barry existed in real life

The character of Madame du Barry is based on a french prostitute who was chosen as a favorite courtesan during the reign of Louis XV.

Dresses by Chanel

Maïwenn and Virginie Viard, with the help of costume designer Jürgen Doering, revisited some pieces from Chanel's haute couture collections to adapt them to Jeanne Du Barry's wardrobe. As a result, six period costumes signed by Chanel emerged.
