Der französische Hauptmann Cyrano de Bergerac leidet unter einer riesigen Nase. Er ist in die schöne Roxane verliebt, wagt es aber nicht, der Angebeteten seine Gefühle zu offenbaren.

One of France’s great masterpieces, Edmond Rostand’s timeless play is beautifully transferred to the screen in this five-time Oscar®-nominated film. Although often adapted, this is the first theatrical film version of the play in color, with Depardieu playing the self-loathing poet to perfection.
