  • 3 stars out of 4

    Exuberant version of the romantic French classic, using the rhymed couplets of the original. The English subtitles, in a rhyming translation by Anthony Burgess, are a distraction, though.

  • "...[Depardieu's performance is his] own magical achievement. It is expansive, funny, gross, dainty, and always humane....[It] finds surprising new life in a theatrical antique..."

    Technical Quality - nul point

    Poor picture quality and audio (only 2-channel) does not do justice to this masterpiece. It was obviously amateur night at Tartan Video when they mastered it.

    Simply the best

    This film has it all - passion, humour, beauty, swash-buckling action, poetry, love, tragedy, subtitles and of course...panache! Depardieu is brilliant as the indomitable Cyrano - his love for the fair Roxanne is blighted by his fear that she will reject him for his looks. Enter the handsome Christian and things get very complicated for all concerned. A genuine masterpiece.
