Watch Fmovies. A regular performer of the great works of the French repertoire, Jean Liermier takes pride of place in the most popular of them. With the help of the great Gilles Privat—who embodies a Cyrano who is as effervescent as he is melancholic—the director creates a very personal version of this romantic tragicomedy. A sensitive version that stays true to the poet Rostand, telling the story of a storyteller. Cyrano takes us on the adventures of his life. As if he wanted to shout: "Theater is dead: long live theater!"
