【Plot Introduction】

Jeanne was born in an ordinary family. Although she was an unknown commoner, she was still full of ambition and aspirations for life. After experiencing the boring life of a girl in the monastery, Jeanne and her mother came to the glamorous Paris, trying to climb up the social class with her intelligence and beauty. Jeanne relied on her charm to linger among many rich men and eventually became the lover of Count du Barry. However, in a carefully planned meeting with King Louis XV, King Louis XV unexpectedly fell in love with Jeanne at first sight. After this encounter, Jeanne became the mistress of the king who fell in love, and Jeanne entered the Palace of Versailles with controversy, causing an uproar in this conservative feudal aristocratic society.

The film is based on a real historical figure, with Hollywood star Johnny Depp playing the amorous King Louis XV. The film was written, directed and acted by the talented French director Mai Wen, who was selected for the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival. The film plays the King's mistress, the Countess du Barry, who goes against the tide in the feudal class. This masterpiece, which cost tens of millions of dollars, not only restores the extravagance of the Palace of Versailles in the 18th century, but also attempts to reverse the image of the Countess du Barry as a dissolute villain in history. The film was honored as the opening film of the 76th Cannes Film Festival and received more than 7 minutes of applause from the audience after the premiere.
