Jeanne du Barry: The One Who Scandalized the Court of Versailles

How historically accurate was the Jeanne du Barry movie with Johnny Depp as the King Louis XV? Even if you haven’t watched this film (its Netflix release is planned for September), you must’ve heard something about it. No wonder, it attracted everyone’s interest at the recent Cannes Film Festival since, imagine, for the first time an American actor was playing the French king in a French movie speaking French!
