Cyrano

Acclaimed filmmaker Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice; Atonement) envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, a bold re-imagining of the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).  Based on the 2018 stage musical of the same name, itself based on the 1897 Edmond Rostand play, Cyrano de Bergerac. (Dir. by Joe Wright, 2021, UK/USA, 124 mins., rated PG-13)
