Review of Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) by Ashley H — 03 Aug 2006

This movie is a poem in every respect. The dialogue and subtitles are poetry, but if speak un peu de francis you'll see they don't exactly match. Yet script and actin are smooth you forget poetry unless you listen for it, which makes for pleasurable viewings.

Also, film intelligently discusses aspects of love that affect everyone, both the ugly and the beautiful. Great music throughout. Incredible performances by everyone in the film, and bits of excitement, romance, and adventure.
