Johnny Depp's Cannes Comeback: Standing Ovation and Controversy

Johnny Depp's film "Jeanne du Barry" received a five-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. This is Depp's first film project since his defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp stated that the majority of what has been written about him in the last few years is "fantastically, horrifically written fiction." The film tells the story of Madame du Barry, a mistress of King Louis XV. Cannes chief Thierry Frémaux called the film "a success" and Depp's performance "magnificent."
