Cyrano de Bergerac

A relatively boring outing with bad title character acting. Seems to me that the nose is just a misused prop in what should have been a comedy.

God damn this is boring. Rostand's _Cyrano_ was one of the things we were forced to read in high school, and I think that had the opposite effect intended by the teachers. The 1990 Rappeneau/Depardieu version is a HELL of a lot better

The best thing is the witty rhetoric, but that apparently comes pretty much straight from the play. Swordplay... Not so much. The fighting scenes seem endless and I almost fell asleep, which never happens when watching a movie.

Cyrano de Bergerac estreava há 70 anos em Los Angeles. Segundo filme que vejo com Ferrer em em dois dias, mas confesso que gostei mais da performance dele em Whirlpool do que aqui, embora ambas sejam brilhantes, foi com essa aqui que ele ganhou o Oscar. Ainda assim gosto mais da versão com Depardieu. BlurayRip RARBG.

I have fond childhood memories of Steve Martin's version and I've seen a couple of the silent ones, but this is the first time I experience it in a more authentic presentation, truly wonderfully spoken by José Ferrer. Sure, it gets a little overly romantic toward the end there, but Cyrano as portrayed by Ferrer is such a broad character that he overshadows almost all of the films shortcomings.
