Cyrano de Bergerac (1990)
Country: FR
Technical: col/scope 138m
Director: Jean-Paul Rappeneau
Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Anne Brochet, Vincent Perez
Synopsis:
A proud Gascon can set the tables a-roar and command the loyalty of every man in his charge, but must woo on behalf of his handsome lieutenant without daring to speak of his own love, because of the size and shape of his prodigious nose.
Review:
The seventeenth century poet and duellist, as immortalised by nineteenth century poet Rostand, is here revived for the screen by the man who probably had to play him more than any other, and not because of his nose, although... Depardieu truly makes the poetry sizzle and sing, and Rappeneau orchestrates a lavish production with élan. The international version even had subtitles by Anthony Burgess. Heritage cinema, bonjour!
