A stormy shoot
If it is true, of course, this game of cat and mouse disrupts the conditions of the filming of
Jeanne du Barry,
a feature film with a substantial budget since it would exceed 20 million euros.
This rififi on a film set seems surprising since at first Maïwenn Le Besco, who here wears the double hat of director and actress, and Johnny Depp seemed delighted to work together.
