Jeanne du Barry is a film of gestures and glances, not sweeping monologues and action. It has some of the court intrigue found in titles like The Other Boleyn Girl, The Madness of King George, and Dangerous Liaisons, but ultimately isn’t too interested in the backroom wheeling and dealing of monarchic power players. As the title implies, the film is a biography of Jeanne Bcu, who would become Madame du Barry, and mostly focuses on her time at Versailles as the chief mistress of King Louis XV.
