The Cannes red carpet sprang to life again Tuesday with the premiere of the Louis XV period drama “Jeanne du Barry," starring Johnny Depp, as the French Riviera movie pageant launched a star-studded and potentially controversy-rife 76th edition. “Jeanne du Barry,” directed by and co-starring Maïwenn, has been billed as Depp's comeback following his explosive trial last year for defamation against ex-wife Amber Heard — though his prominent presence at Cannes has been hotly debated. A coterie of stars streamed down Cannes' famous red carpet for the opening ceremony, including Uma Thurman, Elle Fanning and Catherine Deneuve.
