Cyrano De Bergerac (1990 - Depardieu)

Movies : Romance : DVD Rip : French Cyrano De Bergerac (1990) French w. Eng. hard subs XViD Gérard Depardieu Plot Synopsis by Judd Blaise: Edmond Rostand's classic drama of inner and outer beauty is given a lavish treatment in this acclaimed French production. Gérard Depardieu portrays the title character, a brilliant, charismatic swordsman with a generous spirit and a genius for poetry. It would seem that such a man would have no trouble attracting women, but Cyrano considers himself doomed to loneliness by an unattractive face featuring an oversized nose. His feelings of inadequacy are emphasized when Roxane, the beautiful woman he adores, attracts the attention of Christian, a young cadet in Cyrano's service. Christian lacks the poetic gift, however, and he ironically turns to Cyrano for help in winning Roxane's love. What follows is a tale of deception, with Roxane falling in love with the ineloquent Christian thanks to Cyrano's words of love. The underlying narrative has become quite familiar to modern audiences through retellings and variations from the 1950 adaptation starring José Ferrer to Steve Martin's Roxanne. Director Jean-Paul Rappeneau's interpretation stresses the tragic majesty of the original, setting a vigorous performance by Depardieu against a beautifully designed reproduction of the period and an emphasis on the sound and poetry of Rostand's original language; the subtitles for the film's English release were penned by renowned British author Anthony Burgess. This attention to detail creates a particularly faithful cinematic rendering of the original work that met with positive critical responses. Review by Rebecca Flint Marx: Seamless, heartfelt, and imbued with rare vibrance, Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac is a definitive example of what a literary film adaptation can and should be. Part of its strength lies in its endorsement of the story's unabashed romanticism; instead of downplaying it, Rappeneau celebrates it. As a result, the film is as vivid and bold as its title character, reveling in exuberant intelligence and tragic poignancy. Cyrano is well-served by Gerard Depardieu's title performance, for which he earned an Oscar nomination and a César award. Depardieu brings the larger-than-life Cyrano to the screen without devouring the scenery: his portrayal is grand without being showy, a tour de force informed as much by subtlety as by outsized emotional display. The performance is the heart of the film, setting the pulse for an extraordinary piece of work that, fittingly enough, comes across as a love letter to love. Enjoy and Seed!!

and Cyrano De Bergerac (1950, US, B&W) also get a 7.5.
Steve Martin's Roxanne (1987, US. Color) gets a 6.6 points.

leeSally, I would also add Janeane Garofolo. The Truth About Cats and Dogs was a clumsy take on the story who's main failing, in my mind, was that I was expected to think Uma Thurman is beautiful. :p
Having trouble getting a Depardieu version with decent subs, but so far I agree Jose Ferrer is untouchable.

Very bad quality! Must be from a very fucked up DVD. The HDTV rip is MUCH better.

The video/sound quality sure takes me back to the 90's.

leeSally.....sure, Steve Martin's comedy was fun to watch but has very little to do with the real story. You rpobably based your ratings on language, but the Depardieu version is by far the best one, followed by Ferrer's 1950 movie. Steve Martin's romantic comedy cannot be compared to the 2 other films. Sorry. And yes, I'm French.
