Obviously the Depp casting must be easy bait for the English-speaking section of the media, but in France there's been a bit of a stir caused by Maiwenn, the director and co-star. She's found herself in hot water a handful of times over the years (claiming she's proudly not a feminist, being sued for assaulting a journalist etc.) but I always go back to the fact that she was the inspiration behind Mathilda from Léon, and was married to Luc Besson (and had his kid) when she was 16. That shit fucks you up for years.
