“A woman like Roxanne wants wit, romance, poetry… I don’t know how to speak romantically!” Directed by Joe Wright and written by Erica Schmidt, based on Schmidt’s 2018 stage musical of the same name, CYRANO re-imagines the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle.
A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by 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.).
