- Synopsis:
- Cyrano (Gerard Depardieu), a swashbuckling hero with a gift for verse, is in love with the beautiful Roxane (Anne Brochet) but fears his prominent nose would cause her to reject his romantic advances. Instead he uses his poetic artistry to help a dashing but shallow suitor, Christian (Vincent Perez), who employs the words to which Cyrano longs to give voice. But will the object of their affection realise who she’s really falling for?

The ultimate version. - Cyrano de Bergerac review by Steve
Lyrical adaptation, in couplets, is a very moving and moral story; elevated into greatness by Depardieu's huge performance.
