Directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) stars Gérard Depardieu as a gifted swordsman and poet who secretly expresses his love through another man. Based on Edmond Rostands classic play, the film is set in 17th-century France and follows themes of unrequited love, identity, and honor. The film received international acclaim and won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

Cyrano (Gérald Depardieu), a swashbuckling hero with a gift for verse, is in love with the beautiful Roxane (Anne Brochet) but fears his prominent nose would cause her to object his romantic advances. Instead he uses his poetic artistry to help a dashing but shallow suitor, Christian (Vincent Perez), who employs the words to which Cyrano longs to give voice. But will the object of their affection realise who shes really falling for?

Cyrano de Bergerac is a spectacular and vibrant adaptation of Edmond Rostands classic play, funny and touching in equal measure, and featuring English subtitles by author Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange). Amid the lavish period design, Depardieu has never been better than as the swaggering scribe, delivering verve and pathos under Jean-Paul Rappeneaus vigorous direction. This classic of world cinema is presented here on Blu-ray in the UK for the first time.p>
