Cyrano (2021)

(Joe Wright, UK/Canada/US 2021, 123 min., DCP)

The legend of Cyrano de Bergerac is put to music in this adaptation of Erica Schmidt’s 2008 stage production. Peter Dinklage plays Cyrano, warrior poet, returned from war and madly in unrequited love with his cousin, Roxanne (Haley Bennett). Wanting to marry for love, Roxanne is infatuated with newly-recruited soldier Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.). Christian would return her affection, but can’t put it into words, so Cyrano acts as their go-between, speaking his own love to Roxanne with Christian’s signature. Lavish in its staging and costume design, and filled with lovely ballads, this re-imagining stays true to the spirit of the original play.

About This Series

The Emergence of Kelvin Harrison, Jr.

With a bit part in 12 Years a Slave, actor Kelvin Harrison, Jr. couldn’t have made a debut in a more high-profile project. It took six more years for him to break through on the festival circuit with the powerful pairing of Luce and Waves. Since then he has worked with directors as varied as Aaron Sorkin, Joe Wright, and Baz Luhrmann, taking advantage of his musical background as well as his acting skills.
