In Reply to: French Films 1927-98 With 3&1/2 Star Ratings. Part I* posted by AudioHead on January 05, 2002 at 08:28:56:
Cyclo is a vietnamese gang movie similar to Godfellas & Donnie Brasco. It's a France\Vietnam production from the director of l'Odeur de Papaye Verte and À la Verticale de l'été.I have seen Cyrano de Bergerac when I was in high shcool during a french class and I didn't like it. Might be different today, taste change when you grown up. Les misérables is a good one, but I was expecting more.
Follow Ups:
You might want to check out the 1950 production with Jose Ferrer as
Cyrano, it is also highly regarded. Also, a 1945 film with Claude
Dauphin as Cyrano, and 1923 film with Pierre Magnier. To my knowledge, there have been 6 TVM's of CdB. - AH
Cyclo is not too bad, a bit too gruesome and OK for a Vietnamese film, but not much more.Cyrano is a wonderful film, you probably should revisit it.
