Ok, sorry to respond OT for the sub, but I had totally forgotten about Cyrano and Tous Les Matins--both huge faves of mine back in the day. Thank you for the reminder(s), I shall seek them out again all these years later. They are both exquisite masterpieces, imho.

I prolly should have posted it in /s/movies instead of the last topic I landed on.

Tous Les Matins is just soooo heartbreakingly sad. Rare in media to do so unapologetically. I think my life would be a tragedy too. Besides the profoundly gorgeous cinematography I looooove the soundtrack. Last year I shared a clip of the "Improvisation" on YouTube and discovered that the soundtrack tune I so loved was actually a classical music piece with dozens of arrangements and variations (covers and remixes)!!! La Follia / Les Folies d'Espagne / Folías de España, etc.

Also, FYI, Gérard Depardeu's son plays the younger version of his character. Died too young though.

Geepers I used to have that soundtrack on a loop. SO good! I had forgotten that Guillaume had died, so sad. He was fantastic in that movie.
Gérard ended up being quite a gnarly old crank!

He was good. Could have been a star, based on that movie. Sad about Dad too.
