If you loved Le Hussard sur le toit, try Cyrano de Bergerac
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Hussard sur le toit, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cyrano de Bergerac is
Here's a big-nose-guy-loves-beautiful-woman story that is not, in fact, Roxanne. Cyrano is in love with his cousin, but his outsized schnoz keeps him from declaring himself. Instead, he funnels his love through a handsome but tongue-tied cadet. At least it's got Gerard Depardieu.
