I was a language teacher and this film has some of the most beautiful French that I have ever heard! Furthermore, Despardieu is amazing in the role.

I had an opportunity once to help in a theatre production of this story. I didn't take the advantage of this experience that I should have, but the production was tremendous. In comparison with other versions of the story of Cyrano, this one here is in my opinion the most authentic in its emotional impact and historical accuracy. It didn't even dawn on me until later, that the entire script is one big poem; that's how naturally the scenes flow through. Even if watching this movie while reading the English subtitles, this is definitely a good watch.
Wonderful and clever story. Depardieu is perfect for Cyrano -- great actor and no need for any proboscis enhancement.

A winning cast and the most accurate portrayl of the Classic French Literary Hero. Gerard Depardieu and Anne Brochet are wonderful in their performance. The cinematography and sets are stunning as well as the swordfights and action sequences. A bittersweet romantic comedy, but not purely for women. This film is great for anyone who enjoys wit, color, and "panache". For 1990, this "Cyrano" is a win.
this is our 2nd copy of this film...
