Johnny Depp started off as a punk band guitarist, turning to acting to help pay the bills. But his dabbling catapulted him to global fame and there was no going back. Throughout his career, Depp has had fame and infamy in equal measure. His roles are often that of the isolated anti-hero: Edward Scissorhands, Donnie Brasco, Raoul Duke in Las Vegas Parano, and Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. His poetic outsider characters reveal a critical view of American society.

Imagine having around 50 minutes at your disposal and managing to deliver so little new about the man, the myth, the legend – Johnny Depp.
This is a French documentary that completely fails to achieve anything meaningful. I’m genuinely left wondering what its purpose is, and what new insight the viewer is supposed to gain. Instead, we get a chronological rundown of Depp’s career: from punk rocker to 21 Jump Street, the Tim Burton era, the Disney hysteria with Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course a few obligatory minutes about his stormy relationship with Amber Heard.
That Johnny Depp is at his best portraying oddball characters has become his entire mantra, so I don’t really understand the filmmakers’ idea of dismissing the less commercially successful films. It’s unfocused and never explains why it even exists.
Not recommended at all.
