Cyrano de Bergerac is a 1990 French comedy-drama film directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau and starring Gérard Depardieu, Anne Brochet, and Vincent Perez. The story revolves around a soldier and a poet, Cyrano de Bergerac, who is in love with his cousin Roxane but is unable to express his feelings due to his enormous nose.
Cyrano is a skilled swordsman and an excellent poet, but his physical appearance prevents him from courting Roxane directly. Instead, he decides to help his handsome but dim-witted fellow soldier, Christian de Neuvillette, in his pursuit of Roxane. Cyrano writes beautiful letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf, which charms Roxane and makes her fall in love with Christian. Cyrano's love for Roxane is so strong that he is willing to sacrifice his own feelings for her, as long as she is with someone who will make her happy.
The film is set in 1640s Paris and is based on the play of the same name by Edmond Rostand. Depardieu gives a powerful performance as Cyrano, capturing both the character's wit and his vulnerability. Brochet plays Roxane with charm and grace, while Perez embodies Christian's good looks. The film is a romantic and tragic tale of unrequited love, inner beauty, and the power of words.
