Story
Cyrano de Bergerac is a dashing, witty man with a big nose, which embarrasses him. He falls in love with the beautiful Roxane but believes she will reject him because of his nose. He ends up writing love letters on the behalf of another who is also in love with her. She falls in love with the author not realizing who is truly writing. Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (March 6, 1619 – July 28, 1655) was a French dramatist born in Paris, who is now best remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story. ...
Cyrano rhapsodizes as he quips about his own nose to insult a witless challenger and then improvises a poem as he takes him in a duel.
Cyrano does so, and when he finds that Christian is dull he even writes lyrical love letters to Roxane in Christian's name — the ultimate sacrifice.
"CyranodeBergerac," rated PG for violence — swordplay and wartime battles — is a great film that should capture an audience beyond those who regularly attend foreign-language movies.
