(2021) (Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett) (PG-13)
- QUICK TAKE:
- Musical: Unable to tell a high society woman how he feels about her, a French nobleman ends up helping the man she's smitten with woo her through his words.
- PLOT:
It's the 1600s and Cyrano de Bergerac (PETER DINKLAGE) is a French nobleman serving in the King's army who's a renowned duelist and poetic wordsmith. Despite his many talents, his diminutive size results in him believing he's not worthy of the potential affections of his longtime friend, Roxanne (HALEY BENNETT).
Yet, knowing that Count De Guiche (BEN MENDELSOHN) is interested in her, and after confessing his true feelings about her to his fellow soldier and friend, Le Bret (BASHIR SALAHUDDIN), Cyrano has his hopes raised upon learning that Roxanne wants to meet him privately the following day.
But that's to inform Cyrano of her secret love, newly arrived soldier Christian de Neuvillette (KELVIN HARRISON JR.). Cyrano is crushed, but doesn't let on, and ever loyal to Roxanne, he promises to befriend Christian, protect him from harm, and have him write to her. The only problem is the young man has no such skills, resulting in Cyrano penning the love letters, all of which cause Roxanne to fall ever more in love with Christian.
As that complicated arrangement and ruse continue, all involved must contend with De Guiche becoming increasingly impatient regarding his romantic overtures toward Roxanne, all of which puts everyone at risk.
