  Great Film but...
  
  It was depicted as being English soundtrack, but I was disappointed to find it all in French with English subtitles.
  
  Otherwise an excellent film!

  Rent it or regret it.
  
  Regardless of whether you speak French, this has to be the ultimate comfort film.

  Crisp rendition of a classic
  
  Beautifully staged and spoken, this is a very faithful adaptation of Rostand's classic. For me Depardieu's Cyrano is a little _too_ phlegmatic, but ... read more »
