Storyline
A dashing officer of the guard and romantic poet, Cyrano de Bergerac falls in love with his cousin Roxane without her knowing. His one fault in his life, he feels, is his large nose and although it may have been a forming influence in his rapier-sharp wit, he believes that Roxane will reject him. He resorts to writing letters to her on behalf of one of his cadets, Christian, who is also in love with Roxane but just doesn't know how to tell her. She falls for the poetic charm of the letters but believes that they were written by Christian.

User Review

Translated? You don't say.

Rating:

The subtitles in this movie are done so well, one almost forgets the movie
was done in French. The words seem to glide effortlessly off of Gerard
Depardieu's tongue, as if only he were meant to speak them. It almost
makes
you jealous of Cirano's eloquence. Even those with no appreciation of
poetry whatsoever can still find this movie entertaining. The action is
enthralling; the cinematography, endearing; the movie, entertaining. A
must
see film if you enjoy poetry, romance, humor, action, suspense, period
pieces, aesthetically pleasing images, theatre, French, English, other
languages, large noses, good movies, or any combination of the above. In
short, rent it, buy it or steal it. Just make sure you watch it. And
don't
blame me if you get caught stealing it.
