#YOUTUBE CYRANO DE BERGERAC FILM ARCHIVE#
Special features include an interview with the star from around the time the film was released, as well as an archive interview between Burgess and Sheffield-born writer AS Byatt. That’s certainly something Martin did a whole lot better. The author of A Clockwork Orange provided the translation used in the English subtitles.ĭepardieu is well cast, a charismatic performer – just a shame about the nose. Some of the credit should also go to Anthony Burgess. In Rappeneau’s hands, it’s also a thing of beauty, utterly compelling and moving. Ultimately, the story is a tragedy of mistakes and missed opportunities. Theirs is purely a physical attraction and it will be many years before she learns the truth. His Cyrano is a swashbuckler, but also a man of words (and occasionally there are two many of them to follow clearly) who helps the woman he loves – his cousin Roxane – get together with Christian, an attractive but shallow individual. In a recent stage version, James McAvoy went sans appendage, attempting to persuade the audience he had a massive conk via his acting rather than through a falsie.ĭepardieu does opt to wear an ‘enhancement’, although it doesn’t seem big enough to inspire the ridicule of his peers, perhaps because the actor already has a pretty impressive nasal area. Intriguingly, the latter’s self-portrait, aka ‘The Desperate Man’, from 1845, bears a striking resemblance to Vincent Perez, who plays Cyrano’s handsome love rival, Christian.Ĭyrano is most famous, of course, for having a supersize hooter, a nose of epic proportions. It’s so beautifully shot by him and cinematographer Pierre Lhomme that every scene, every moment looks like a work of art, a watercolour cross between Turner and Courbet. Gérard Depardieu takes the title role in director Jean-Paul Rappeneau’s sumptuous movie. It also made me appreciate Martin’s take on the tale more too – it’s quite surprising how much he retained of Rostand’s ideas. I didn’t get to see it until I was a student (French language movies simply didn’t make it to my local cinema) and was blown away. In 1990, the only things I knew about Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play was gleaned from watching Roxanne, Steve Martin’s updated romantic comedy version.Īnd then a French language version of the story, in its original period setting, was released.
