Impressive movie with a small weakness


The movie is impressive; what would we do without the French cinema?! We had to bear Oppenheimer and Barby! Everything is perfect. Johnny Depp is also very good. His French sounds like native! I don’t know what they did for him to speak French so well but it has worked. My only complaint is the casting of Maïwenn. I know that many would find her pretty but she isn’t really suitable for this role. Today we like these unusual non-European faces and consider them beautiful but this specific character really requires a very beautiful actress to be believable. I think the fact that Maïwenn is the director has led to this miscasting.

Johnny Depp's good French could be because of his marriage with french singer Vanessa Chantal Paradis, he spent a lot of time in france at that time i believe.
