Soldier and poet Cyrano de Bergerac (Gérard Depardieu) is in love with Roxanne, but too ashamed of his appearance to let her know. When the handsome Christian too falls for Roxanne, Cyrano agrees to help him woo her through love-letters under Christian’s name. This retelling of the classic story won the 1991 Oscar for Best Costume Design and numerous BAFTA’s, as well as the César for Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director, among many others.
★★★★★ “An epic film brimming over with life, romance, humour, comedy and the sheer panache of Depardieu’s Cyrano.” - Empire
