Cyrano
Director: Joe Wright
Actors: Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr.
PlotSet in the vibrant and bustling world of 17th-century France, the story follows Cyrano, a talented poet and swordsman. Cyrano is deeply in love with Roxanne, a beautiful and intelligent woman who captivates everyone she meets. His self-doubt and insecurity about his stature prevent him from confessing his feelings to Roxanne. Instead, Cyrano channels his emotions into writing heartfelt letters. Meanwhile, Roxanne draws the attention of Christian, a handsome but inarticulate soldier. She falls for him at first sight, enchanted by his looks and charm, but longing for words of passion that Christian struggles to express.
Cyrano teams up with Christian, forming an unlikely partnership that aims to win Roxanne's heart through eloquent letters. Cyrano provides the words that Christian cannot, creating a romantic illusion of depth and wit that Roxanne dreams of finding in a suitor. As their plan unfolds, the play of words builds a complex web of love, longing, and deception. Cyrano finds fulfillment in speaking through Christian, while Christian grapples with guilt and the fear of truth unraveling. Throughout their entangled journey, themes of inner beauty clashing with societal ideals are explored, yet the characters must eventually confront their real desires and insecurities in a crescendo of emotional revelations.
