	EUFS: Cyrano De Bergerac
		Cyrano is a figure who, despite his kindness to all, can never be happy and feels very alone in the world - the scene where Cyrano walks away from the balcony scene in the rain is extremely poignant.
		Cyrano De Bergerac is ultimately a tragedy of epic proportions and I defy anyone to be unmoved in the last scene but it also a film that is so joyful, and Depardieu is so accomplished in his role, that on the way to its sad conclusion it is a delight to watch.
		She fancies one of Cyrano's young, handsome-but-stupid cadets, for whom Cyrano writes love letters to the beautiful Roxanne, being as he is, a master of verse.

		Cyrano (Gerard Depardieu) is a man with heart and spirit as large as his nose, a man who loves deeply, yet must love through another.
		Cyrano is convinced that his face will forever doom him to solitude, much less enable him to speak his heart directly to Roxane.
		Cyrano is a swordsman, a poet, a soldier, a playwright.

	A so-so opera, but great staging
		Still, he comes across in "Cyrano" as a composer determined to please, though here and there in the score are remnants of his musically adventurous youth, spent in Leipzig and Paris.
		Cyrano is persuaded to become the go-between for his alluring cousin Roxane, whom he secretly adores, and the handsome but dim-witted novice guardsman Christian, who wins Roxane's love only though the elegantly romantic letters Cyrano writes for him.
		The richest moments of Alfano's score are the subdued scenes, especially the tender duet between Cyrano and Roxane in Act II.

		All this virtuoso treatment finds a focal point in the character of Cyrano, who is at once comic and tragic: his biting wit provides a facade for a soul in torment, for his sensitivity to beauty makes his own ugliness that much more painful.
		Yet there is so much fire and pride in Cyrano that never once does he beg for our pity, and endures the pain of thwarted love with the same charisma and bravery with which he does battle.
		The contradiction between Cyrano as he is inside--a veritable furnace of eloquent passion--and his markedly ugly exterior, is his tragedy.

		Cyrano de Bergerac est amoureux de sa cousine Roxane.
		Il y a ensuite le courage insensé de ces Gascons capables de franchir des lignes ennemies tous les jours pour poster une lettre tout autant que de se laisser prendre au piège de la bataille qui n'est rien d'autre qu'un acte de vengeance d'un ambitieux qui sera maréchal et qui brûle de dépit amoureux.
		Et le prix de ce panache est de pouvoir dire qu'enfin dans cette vie on a eu le bonheur de voir une robe passer.

		A dazzling masterpiece, Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac was showered with awards and five Oscar nominations on its release and became one of the most successful French films ever made.
		Cyrano's legendary skill with a blade is matched only by his skill with words and yet he is tormented by an oversized nose which prevents him from declaring his love for the beautiful Roxane.

		In the last melancholy scene, when De Guiche makes his fine speech about how he envies Cyrano, he makes his appearance in yet another ridiculous costume, which is completely at odds with the autumnal mood and undercuts the dignity of his lines.
		Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Stephen Ballantyne) explains to him (meaning, to us) that Cyrano's combativeness and pride are the product of self-hatred.
		He is touching and charismatic and swashbuckling: the scene in which he pretends to be a man from the moon is a gorgeous bit of silliness, hard to describe and marvellous to behold.

		Translations of Edmond Rostand's 1897 sensation "Cyrano de Bergerac" continue to be tweaked to cut running time or cope with more players than budgets can usually afford.
		Haj told himself to "choose this play only if you have a Cyrano." Dooley indeed sets a high standard in portraying Cyrano's persona from extraordinary sensitivity as a poet to master swordsman, lover in absentia, leader of soldiers, pauper patron of the arts and introspective, proud iconoclast.
		Cyrano is the hidden creator of solipsistic Christian's letters and of the monologue to Roxanne, whom Cyrano loves, but fears will reject him because of his grotesque nose.
