It actually is not truthful that Joe Wright’s adaptation of “Cyrano de Bergerac” ended up slipping beneath the radar. Certain, it did get a couple of Golden Globe nominations and even one for an Oscar for its costume design, however as an precise film, not a lot buzz gave the impression to be flying round this musical. That, my pricey readers, is a crying disgrace! In spite of everything, as /Movie’s Hoai-Tran Bui stated in her evaluation of the movie, it’s “a throwback to maximalist Hollywood musical productions of previous” that has a heartfelt efficiency from Peter Dinklage at its middle.
And simply who does Dinklage play? Properly, the titular Cyrano, after all! Ostracized in society for his stature, he admires his childhood greatest buddy Roxanne (Haley Bennett) from afar as she tries and navigates Sicilian society. When he meets soldier Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), who’s in love with Roxanne however has issue expressing his emotions, he begins sending love letters to Roxanne below Christian’s identify. Nonetheless, love triangles and battle put this seemingly-perfect plan in jeopardy.
