This is the first film with Johnny Depp after the high-profile trial of ex-wife Amber Heard, in which the actor was judged to be “undone” in Hollywood. King Louis XV “humanized” him – showing him to be charming, even through his famous antics from Pirates of the Caribbean. Before the courtesan named Jeanne was allowed to enter the king’s bedchamber, she went through the humiliating stage of a medical examination. But that didn’t matter to the lady. The girl quickly won the king’s heart and became his official favorite. Ludvík’s three daughters, however, like many of his surroundings, do not want to see a simpleton at the head of the court. Of course they plot and arrange all sorts of intrigues for her.
