Johnny Depp opens fest with Jeanne du Barry

Cannes Film Festival opened with Johnny Depp’s French period drama Jeanne du Barry. Michael Douglas walked the red carpet with his family. The Cannes red carpet sprang to life again Tuesday with the premiere of the Louis XV period drama Jeanne du Barry with Johnny Depp, as the French Riviera movie pageant launched a star-studded and potentially controversy-rife 76th edition. US actor and Honorary Palme d’or of the 76th Festival de Cannes Michael Douglas (C) arrives with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones (R) and daughter Carys for the opening ceremony and the screening of Jeanne du Barry. A coterie of stars streamed down Cannes’ famous red carpet for the opening night ceremony, including Brie Larson, Uma Thurman, Gong Li, Elle Fanning, Catherine Deneuve (who graces this year’s festival poster) and a blue-haired Helen Mirren, who carried a fan labeled #worthit.
