Cyrano de Bergerac

The Most Loved of All Love Stories!

1950113 min6.9 / 10

A sweeping romantic tragedy about a brilliant, self-sacrificing poet undone by his own insecurity and noble deception, steeped in 17th-century French elegance and melancholy longing.

France, 1640. Cyrano, the charismatic swordsman-poet with the absurd nose, hopelessly loves the beauteous Roxane; she, in turn, confesses to Cyrano her love for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian. The chivalrous Cyrano sets up with Christian an innocent deception, with tragic results.
