This DVD is one of France's literary treasures that received a Best Foreign Film Golden Globe and 5 Oscar nominations!
Cyrano (Depardieu), a master swordsman and poet, feels he cannot woo his beloved Roxane (Anne Brochet) due to an unfortunate physical flaw; his grotesquely large nose. Resigning himself to helping another suitor, the dashing yet tongue-tied Christian, Cyrano uses his mastery of words to win Roxane for him. Roxane falls in love with Christian's beauty and kind poetic words, however, will she ever figure out the words are actually Cyrano's?
