Cyrano es un brillante poeta y un hábil espadachín que expresa su amor por la bella Roxane a través de Christian, el apuesto soldado a quien ella ama. Cyrano es jactancioso y fanfarrón, de genio vivo pero a la vez ingenioso e irónico, noble y orgulloso. Pero esconde una herida secreta que le atormenta: su agudo sentido del ridículo, su fealdad y su susceptibilidad le han impedido ser amado por Roxane. Sin embargo, ya que su amada ama a otro, él ayudará a su rival escribiendo en su nombre apasionadas cartas de amor. (Cine Company S.A.)

Art above entertainment. Cyrano has excellent leading actors (especially Gérard Depardieu), exquisitely crafted dialogue lyrics and first-rate make-up. On the other hand, it has the classic problems of film adaptations of theatre plays: cardboard sets, deliberate overacting in basically all supporting roles and a bland screenplay. Theatre plays are hard to adapt, like video games, and few of them work out well. This one is bearable, but I wouldn't consider it an outright hit.

I liked the more intimate and black-and-white version from 1950 a little bit more, although it was made by Americans. Gérard is great, it's hard to find fault with him, but the grander execution didn't quite fit with it for me. Furthermore, the other characters seemed quite unremarkable to me, even though they also have their merits, not just Cyrano.
