Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Embarrassed by his large nose, a romantic poet/soldier romances his cousin by proxy.
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.
