Movie Info

Edmond Rostand's classic drama of inner and outer beauty is given a lavish treatment in this acclaimed French production. G�rard Depardieu portrays the title character, a brilliant, charismatic swordsman with a generous spirit and a genius for poetry.

More artistry and energy than virtually any American costume drama from that period you could name.

Based on the classic of French literature, Cyrano is the tale of a brave and noble soldier with the body of a bearish brute but soul of a poet who helps a more visually appealing competitor gain the affections of his true love.

Gerard Depardieu shines as Cyrano, the brute swordsman with the soul of a witty and loquacious poet. A passionate chant to real love, beyond any superficial matter.
