Johnny Depp released the film Minamata, thousands of people waited for the American star

by Jakub Dulinek & Lenka Hlouskova

Johnny Depp is not idle on the third day at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. He was supposed to screen Minamata (2020) at the Municipal Theatre in Karlovy Vary from 1 pm. The actor, who had thousands of people waiting outside the theatre, finally arrived at the screening an hour late. He met with fans later.

The American star at least waved to his fans upon his arrival. Depp then entered the theater through a side entrance.

Depp's fans responded with enthusiastic cheers upon his arrival, some of whom had been waiting for the actor outside the theater since the early hours of the morning.

At the screening of the film in the theater, he thanked the organizers of the Karlovy Vary festival and the audience themselves. "I want to thank you all, because thanks to you we have a job," he said. He also thanked the Czech audience again in Czech and accepted gifts from people in the audience.

Depp met with people waiting outside after the film's release, signed autographs and accepted donations.

He also took a picture of an elephant

"I heard he likes elephants, so I brought him a picture of an elephant. I would love for Johnny to take it," said one fan. The actor did indeed take the picture of the elephant from the fan.

The film, which Johnny Depp is presenting at the festival on Saturday, deals with a real ecological disaster in the Japanese fishing town of Minamata.

Depp's role is somewhat reminiscent of his current life. He plays the character of a once-celebrated photographer. Eugene Smith lives alone in New York in the early 1970s. Long gone are the days when his World War II reports captivated the world.

His life's misery is interrupted by a journey to the Japanese city of Minamata, where an unscrupulous corporation is polluting the coastal waters. His life takes on a new meaning. The chemical cocktail is proven to kill, but proving it means fighting the authorities and powerful people for whom the only value is profit.

Depp also produced the film, which, in addition to the power of money, addresses the boundaries of (not only) journalistic ethics.
