  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.

  Cyrano de Bergerac
  
  The description of this film is confused. It refers to Ferrer's 1950s version when it is Depardieu who stars in this version.

  Tres bien!
  
  An excellent performance by Depardieu and an enjoyable film. Roxanne is a pale imitation of this French classic.
