This is an excellent movie - wonderful sets, costumes, acting, direction - a must see. All I can add to the comments of others is that Depardieu was robbed. He should have won the Academy Award for his memorable Cyrano.

The Return of Martin Guerre
(1982)
Best of Depardieu
8 July 2001
One of my favorite movies, even if the ending is a heartbreaker. Every Depardieu fan should have a copy - in French, not dubbed. You can't help but like the returning Martin, as played by Depardieu. His talent at facial expression is wonderful. The courtroom scene is his best - check out the look he gives the wife as she steps forward to select the correct Martin.
