Published: July 10, 2019, 9:20 a.m.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast from Flickering Myth, in which a different guest stops by each week to chat about their favourite movie.

This week, Empire Magazine critic and film book author Helen O’Hara chats about the 1990 adaptation of French literary classic Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Gérard Depardieu as the big-nosed soldier-cum-poet who romances the love of his life through a far more attractive, if dim-witted surrogate. We discuss Depardieu’s towering performance, Anthony Burgess’s memorable subtitle work and, of course, all of the panache.
